Because it infringes on the authors moral rights which is part of copyright in Europe.
I assume the replaced words are not marked and what happens is that a new work is presented as the authors work and even if readers know the app working when reading they will base there opinion about the author on the transformed work.
I find it depressing that some persons in this thread that are strong defenders of authors commercial copyright do not seem to care about the more important moral part of copyright.
