I’m saying I wish they didn’t choose to just because they can.
Yeah, that’s not how it works.
In an interview about Star Trek Discovery, the writers basically said it was. The show got a lot of flak for using “fuck” twice in the same episode, and the writers said it was freeing to not have censors saying they couldn’t do that.
I’m sure there was a reason other than just being purely rebellious.

“Every writer’s impulse when you get to work on the streaming shows with no parameters is to go crazy,” Harberts said. “But then you look at things like: How does nudity play on Trek? Eh, it feels weird. How does a lot of [profanity] on Trek? Not so great. Are there moments where it merits it that we’re trying to push here and there? I would say we’re trying to push more by having the type of complicated messed-up characters who aren’t necessarily embraced on broadcast.”
That sounds like being purely rebellious to me.
