Oh brainfarts and autocorrects do happen, but by the frequency I see this mistake happening I see it's not just a regular slip

You probably see a lot more English than other languages, so you'll see a proportionally higher number of mistakes too.
I noticed today that I had sent an email that used the wrong form of "to" ("too" instead). This isn't because I don't know English. It's just that what came out of my fingers was wrong. Mea culpa, it happens.
The way English uses the apostrophe is especially tedious and offers no value: it'd be no real shame if the distinction between "its" and "it's" disappeared over time, just like English lost gendered nouns and words like thy and thine.
