I suspect it is differences, between countries, cultures, how people have been brought up, etc.
I agree, it is 'BORDERLINE' swearing.
As the video was unlisted when I watched that part, with around 34 views, I thought it a good time to mention it. In case you changed your mind.
tl;dr
I was serious. But it is relatively MINOR, I agree.

I had a quick look (Google). It seems the Australians, have accepted it, and don't consider it swearing.

--- Quote ---Usage outside the UK
Bloody has always been a very common part of Australian speech and has not been considered profane there for some time. The word was dubbed "the Australian adjective" by The Bulletin on 18 August 1894. One Australian performer, Kevin Bloody Wilson, has even made it his middle name. Also in Australia, the word bloody is frequently used as a verbal hyphen, or infix, correctly called tmesis as in "fanbloodytastic".

EDIT:
* I'm on the VERY HIGH sensitivity side, as regards stuff like this. So, DON'T worry too much about me complaining about it
* Bloody H***, is the REALLY bad one. Although even that, is probably not considered too bad these days, I suspect

In 99% of situations, it wouldn't even raise an eyebrow.
