I personally don't care if someone runs their mouth (unless they are intentionally stirring the pot and offending players and admins) - however racial slurs are generally not acceptable (one would hope), so such means might be useful in that case. Racial profanities will easily get you slapped with the ban-hammer on my servers.
However, for this to be a productive discussion, maybe instead of debating WHY, we should discuss the HOW - how someone who might be interested in implementing anti-profanity measures would be able to do so effectively.
