Lack of autocomplete doesn't mean you can't type something yourself and press enter.
That's different than youtube demonetizing or suspending you because you said some word in a video.

It’s the other way around. Apple don’t want to suggest offensive phases and have it look like they wants you to say those things.
The middle ground here is to not suggest anything at all. Because they’re either pushing people to say something or preventing them from saying something.
The HN crowd forgets that average people don’t know how technology works. Everyone I know would see this as a good feature.
Apple, evidently, does not want you to say these things. They can’t outright ban phrases due to optics, so they do this instead.
