It's not just reviewers, but also shepherds, directorates, ADs, RPC staff, and the RSE -- quite the gauntlet. Certainly this approach could be attempted, and if still I-Ds make it onto the RFC-Editor queue with offensive language (where the RPC staff could also object to offensive language), then we could revisit the matter. Most likely we've not had offensive language in use in recent I-Ds/RFCs. We might not even have a problem to fix. No evidence has been presented that we do have a problem to fix.
