Yeah I’m not sure what ever gave you the idea that free speech was a thing on big tech platforms.
Stuff like this simply isn’t new, they just developed the technology while pretending to care about concepts like being against homophobia, racism, bigotry, etc.
Just wait until you read about The Terror! You’ll discover the vast majority of victims were just regular people. The odds are much better that you will be guillotined than an Apple tech bro. That neighbor that you pissed off 8 years ago will see to it.
I think you’re being a little reactionary, it’s more about offending someone by suggesting these things when they WEREN’T what they were actually trying to say. Autocorrecting to insults or swears could get someone in potentially serious trouble. It’s easy to imagine the viral facebook post “My iPhone got me fired!” Or even “iPhone is teaching my kids bad words!”
You should be blaming the parents if you see posts like that. Literally no excuse for not watching your own child and making sure they know which words are okay and not okay, in your own house
Who the fuck do these people think they are, deciding what we can and cannot say, what we can and cannot express?
I never really understood the whole “No really, we HAVE to guillotine them all” attitude of the 18th century French until I met tech bros.

My mothers iPhone autocorrected an inserted an N-bomb while she was texting a black friend of hers so it’s not like this is surprising to any of us.

You cant have control of your own device, it could be a slight PR inconvenience for the company!
