Because people rarely try to have a historical discussion about him and instead invoke Godwin's law.

It's someone's name. There was a bad person in history for every name and you can see how idiotic it would be to censor every name as a result. If someone is using Hitler to harass others, then punish that but don't censor someone's name. This isn't Harry Potter and doing so is beyond stupid.

Is Josef Stalin censored too? Is Mao Zedong? Is Kim Il-sung? Is Kim Jong-il? Is Pol Pot? Is Marx? Are all of the other worst human beings to ever live censored? If not, why the hell is Hitler censored? Stalin was significantly worse.

Some of the censored words are hilarious. My personal favourite is smackthemonkey.

It's not a stupid censor. That is a very sensitive topic for a lot of people.
