This leads to yet another question: IF the form of swearing isn't something people particularly care about, and if the JMods themselves seem to be apathetic on it elsewhere...why is it even a rule still, besides for the sake of it? One could say "buh family friendly D:", but fact of the matter is this: less than 1% of the player population is younger than 13, and I highly, HIGHLY doubt their first thought would be "Well golly gee, I think I'll go look at the RSOF!
"
They just want to play the game on the computer, plus you're limited to Quick Chat (both reading and typing) anywho if you say you're under 13 until you turn 13, so yea- it's an effective non-issue regarding User Content, so it's not really a relevant point of attack.
--
Typically when a person is apathetic in the workplace they ususally don't limit their apathy to one area. A company is only as strong as its workforce, and if employees don't care about what's going on it will be reflected in all areas, from customer service to client retention. Apathy prevents a company from becoming the best it can be.
The fact of the matter is that Jagex targets the 8-13 age bracket in their marketing campaigns. RS is marketed as 'family friendly game', meaning the whole family can play together. Swearing, innuendo, politics & religion are not normally associated with the ideals of a game that is 'family friendly'.
The notion that because there is a quick-chat feature in place as the grounds for the removal of the rule is a bit nonsensical IMO.

Since the rule ties to the T&C
I'll just stop you right here: The Terms mean little, if anything at all, in context. IF we were to take the Terms literally, we'd already technically be violating subsection 11 by posting User Content that doesn't explicitly belong to us (the Subscriber) on multiple fronts. Heck, under its previous iteration, they literally stated they don't monitor User Content despite it being obvious they do.
The Terms literally say "You can find the Rules here" and that's really it, and you forget subsection 21, where we can make complaints if we so choose
Trust me when I say this: You do not want to debate semantics and technicalities with me, despite how fruitless it would ultimately be
The Terms are literally only there in case Jagex gets into legal hot water and matters are brought to tort. That's it. Trying to use it as a point of argument shows, to me, that there is a lack of pertinent argument to be had.

Target demographic != actual demographic. You forget demographics are never static, and they need to be adjusted to meet fluctuations within said demographic. It also seems like you're trying to intentionally misconstrue my point regarding the Quick Chat feature (Which, if you actually made an attempt to understand the explicit meaning to the premise instead of just immoderately attacking it, you'd see exactly where I'm coming from), so I'll just copypasta, bold, underline, and make it pretty:
