What about situations where being vulgar is appropriate? Can google vacuum up the context directly from the writer's brain?
As an aside, I find it funny how the English language shies away from calling vulgar words what they are in absolute terms, but instead uses a relative term "inappropriate" without answering the question "inappropriate for what?". That gives me the paternalistic vibes of "for you".
Similarly, "explicit" art is all around, but only vulgar is marked as "explicit".

That's why it's a suggestion and not a feature that blocks you from writing whatever you please. It's like how I can type my last name into documents on computers I have never used before: the spellcheck indicator will show up and I will choose to just ignore it.
In the light of the sibling comment, small nudges can still result in large consequences. Even without forcing people to do something, chastising them for not adhering to google's vision of language is not something I'm looking forward to.

Uh, I'm going to be bold and assume the tool is just not made for vulgar tirades. Just how spell checking will bother you if you quote something that's not grammatically correct. /shrug
Well, grammatical correctness is at least standardized and thus absolute.
Oh wait, not in English.
But at least respected dictionaries exist for grammar, offering a vague consensus. But is there a dictionary for "absolute inappropriateness", against which we can check google's checker?
Even in languages with much stricter rules than English many people just ignore the strict rules except for a few pedantics, which are widely considered to be a bunch of insufferable twats.
