Is it too much to ask to use the full and uncensored word 'fuck'. I personally have no problem with casual profanity when its use is warranted, and am more "offended" by people who think they need to self censor themselves.

You could frame this the other way. I don't necessarily understand why people are so bothered by the word, but I also don't understand why avoiding it would bother you.
Personally, I think it just makes the page accessible in more contexts. I'd feel ever-so-slightly embarrassed bringing up a page filled with course words while in the office. Removing the vowels makes me less embarrassed. We can have a discussion about if that makes any sense, but culture and traditions frequently don't make sense, and I don't think this is harming anyone.
I always found people who use that word online never actually achieve the word's intended purpose, which is to emotionally charge your sentiment. The word is so common place that it has lost all meaning. Using it in the early days you were a rebel and the word actually shocked people. Today, not so much. Using it just makes you sound like another boring keyboard warrior.
