Text editors on 144 FPS gsync monitor are noticeably better than vsync 60 FPS in a way in which a BMW door is noticeably better at closing than entry level cars. Technically both work the same and yet you can tell they’re very different.

No. VRR (GSync) does not do anything if your computer can achieve 144Hz (which for a text editor any computer should).

You are seeing the benefits of 144 Hz, not of VRR.

Sounds great until your computer has to do something else for 5 milliseconds.
