It's not that language on a whole gets less and less expressive. Some things are more expressive, like youth language often is. Borrowing words from other languages makes a language more expressive. And even in this case: you can still say "because". I don't see any harm done, except in shaming people because their dialect is wRonG and less sophisticated and therefore they are less than.
