This is a cultural quirk and a perception that has evolved over centuries; that’s all. There is nothing inherently dirty, funny, or disrespectful in the words themselves. As far as I remember, they were originally taboo, in part out of respect for organs and the process, like how you wouldn’t call a bear by its name unnecessarily or refer to God in the Bible. This shift happened in modern language. We need to see what will happen in a thousand years; maybe it will become the norm and be used in all official documents. And people, like in Huxley’s book, will faint and cover their ears at the words “mother” and “father,” or some other nonsense that seems normal to us now. Or everything will stay as it is; who knows. In general, I think that taboo expressive vocabulary is too important an element of communication to degenerate and disappear completely, but the composition of taboo words may change, which is happening now, take the same swear words. Language changes, attitudes towards words change, and in my opinion, there is no point in clinging to some fleeting cultural aspects. If you don’t like it, it’s unpleasant to hear – okay, I can understand; I don’t like it when people use too many swear words, everything is good in moderation. But this is definitely not something terrible that should not exist, but a full-fledged working part of the language that has been, is, and will be.
But since I have never seen or heard taboo names used in a way that is not “dirty, funny, or disrespectful,” that is, not in the form of insults, then yes, “I don’t like it and it’s unpleasant to hear”; and it also turns out to be morally harmful due to the shift in semantic emphasis, you wrote everything correctly. And the examples are perfectly fitting; I wouldn’t have expressed it better myself.
