Ah, no, I don't mean that saying "some people don't deserve to have children" makes people less cultured. I mean that the phrase is considered a bit unsophisticated. Only people who aren't aware of that will use that precise wording. People who are trying to be sophisticated will typically refrain from judging openly. Instead, they will express concern of the kind "I really wish they can get help for this". For the people who are being judged, the latter isn't necessarily better than the former - it can be much worse, since it implies that it is possible to "help" them (which it is often not).
Judging people the right way simply is one of many kinds of status signaling. It has nothing to do with morality.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification!
