The thing is that words can have a very broad range of meaning depending on who uses them and how (among many other factors), but you can't accurately code all of that into a form that computers can understand. Even ignoring bad actors it makes certain things very difficult, like if you ever want to search for something that just happens to share words with something completely different which is very popular.
