I imagine this to greatly idealize the film industry, I mean, Tony Gilroy did have to “file a ticket with the product owner” to put the word “fuck” in one of the episodes and was denied. If you have a lot of cred you can get Final Cut and creative freedom, but I imagine most film productions are as bad if not worse than your average scrum experience.
Not the least of which, if you screw up a release in your software engineering career, you’ll probably get many chances to correct and have a fine if not better career later in. Fuck up a release almost any time in your film career and you may never work again.
My guess is that adding "fuck" would've changed the show's potential returns and content ratings, which is a pretty big change when projecting revenue, ad sales, etc.
Rather than "hey I just wanted to add one word and they pushed back"
I've never watched Andor but I can't imagine any Star Wars content with profanity. There's nothing wrong with profanity. Many of my favorite movies and TV shows have it in spades. I just don't see it fitting in with Star Wars.
