I can use profanity in Dota 2 via voice chat and typing it, yet Relic feels that profanity doesn't fit in a rated M game. Let's also ignore the amount of profanity in the voice lines for several units.

I also think it would be better to manually enable and disable the chat filter but I can't understand the point that the game was better when having all the swearing.

It is not a question of 'growing up' - you usually find that educated mature adults do not find the need to use extreme expletives, in day-to-day conversations.
I am not a spokesman for Relic, so I cannot talk on behalf of their policy. I will, however, state that our board deprecates extreme bad language for 2 reasons: first and importantly, it tends to deter outsiders from joining, who think such stuff is toxic. Second, if somebody kicks off with expletives , it is highly likely that they will receive a response in kind.. and so bar-room brawls develop.
Now, there are some here who clearly salivate at the prospect of such brawls - they get out the popcorn etc... but most do not. And that is why I refer you to para 1 of our site rules, (n the bottom Right Hand corner of your screen).
Last, since somebody will undoubtedly refer to swearing by the troops in-game, this is carried out in a humorous context and not made out of anger or spite.

cuss words in a M-Rated game is too much for some people to handle, especially in 2015. Watching Soviet Soldiers get instantly turned into quadruple amputees from the splash damage from your Tiger tank is just fine with relic however.

If Relic really wants a feature that would help, include the ability to mute chat, or squelch certain players. Truly abusive players will always find a way around a simple filter anyway.

It was implemented with Observer mode. It's there in the off-chance a viewer is watching that is easily offended.
Except that all chat won't show up in observer mode

The chat filter isn't there because they don't think swear words should be in the game but because a minority of players use the in game chat to abuse other players.
They wanted to censor this abusive behaviour rather then the words themselves - and as they can't check P2P chat for context, they just censored the lot.
Personally it doesn't bother me - type what you want, but I get why they may have felt that it needed sorting. More likely is that the Publisher decided that they needed the filter and not Relic, IMO.
Eitherway, it should be a config option. But it isn't, and that doesn't really bother me because I'm playing CoH2 to...well play they game and not to type in the in game chat.
