Here are the content policies: https://play.google.com/about/developer-content-policy/
Perhaps someone should try and report apps from big national public service broadcasting stations (BBC, DR, NRK, SVT, etc). It shouldn't be hard to find some TV programmes on there that contains "sexual content and profanity".
Reporting is done here: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/cont...
Not long ago they had removed the childrens TV app from DR because of similar reasons. I think some of the reasons were that there was a character who "smokes" a licorice pipes, and another who is a pirate that fights with ninjas. DR got the app back on there after its removal being condemned by MPs and ministers.
It is annoyingly hard to find any good English articles about it but here is a Danish one https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/kultur/google-slettede-drs-app-til...
They also reserve the right to selectively enforce those provisions so don't expect any of those to actually be banned. Maybe your reports can be used as evidence in some future anti-trust trial though.
Report the apps then report your reports to the Attorney General in your state? Might help. Even some Democratic AGs are signing onto antitrust suits against google.

Found the Scandinavian, I think! Because it's Google, NPR/PBS or even just Netflix would probably work even more efficiently.
