A number of us who are concerned about civility on Wikipedia do not see swearing in and of itself as uncivil. Many people may include professionalism and decorum under the umbrella of civility, but others do not, and they are not hypocritical because they do not. The problem is not the words

"there seems to be no process to systematically incorporate these, even when they provide strong support for notability." In fact, there's a lot of discouragement when you try to incorporate people from notable obits into the Deaths in 20xx articles: redlinks removed, stubs targeted for deletion.
