The short answer is that vBulletin handles censorship dramatically differently than SimpleMachines from a technical standpoint. Putting in any kind of user-level censorship would increase our server load pretty significantly.
It might be possible to create a new "style" that's a subset of Full Featured that removes the censors. It would have to be based on replacements, though, which might be a pain. If it's really that big of a deal to people, I can look into it.
I would be curious to know what the community as a whole thinks, though I make no guarantees to make a policy change based on that feedback. Profanity doesn't bother me in the least, but I know people have always wanted to at least fool themselves into thinking this is a "family" site, so we've always enforced the word filters.
