The British are way more afraid of swearing on national TV than the Americans are

Nope, the broadcaster just issues a (sometimes tongue in cheek) apology and everything carries on.

The US broadcasters risk breach of advertising contracts and losing money over it.

The UK broadcasters will get a small fine if they don't apologise and do it regularly.

And the public in the UK generally don't care.

Eh. US networks don't allow it, just the same as UK ones before 21:00.

Real people don't actually care.
