Why would anyone complain about using "idiot" or something?
Allah is actually two words Arabic. Al = The and lah = God. Its a word other religions beyond Muslims use to reference God as well (along with other phrases for differentiation). The way it was used in the games referenced above is like "taking the lord's name in vain" in Christianity. While this isn't a big deal anymore in the Christian world, its still very much a big deal in Islam.
Its simply the right thing for the game devs to do.
