I watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5rB9jDbTPU yesterday which goes into details about problems with a similar service, Grammarly.

What Bee said really resonated with me. I used to be a stickler for grammar rules and "proper" English, but as I've progressed in life I've come to realize that those rules are all secondary. All that really matters is that you are understood in the way you want to be understood.

Grammar rules help educate people about common idioms and structures so that they can understand others and be understood themselves. Additionally, by following a certain set of grammatical conventions, you can change the way you are perceived. By ignoring the rules, one might be seen as erudite and sophisiticated. OTOH u dont always want to seem stuckup :)
