Blue text has been used as a highlighting thang for text containing sarcasm to show others the intentions of the poster.
TBH I've only every seen Mr. B use it...

It was more widespread a few years back. But everyone else grew up or moved on.

Was it just sarcasm that got highlighted, what about other things like spite?

Just sarcasm IIRC. I don't recall spite.

I get it. Doesn't it seem more appropriate though to use blue text for expletives?

I don't know about you, but i'm fully versed in expletives and could probably recognise most of them from quite a long way away. No blue text needed.

I was thinking more of, "He cursed the air blue".
