For what it’s worth, I would roll my eyes and be annoyed by half of these improvements too. But I really dislike speech which is purposefully obfuscated to try and hide the “negative” aspects. I think it’s far better to find a genuinely more empathetic thought process and then express those thoughts without having to specially obfuscate it to sound nice.
