There's a market for 'help you write english better' tools that spot things like grammar errors.

For example, if my english-as-a-second-language eastern European subordinates feel self-conscious about their english, they might find an automated tool helpful - where a professional journalist would be better served by their own judgement.

The 'inclusive language' thing is just weird though.

Just like Google is not an actual search engine but a "recommendation" engine that prods users into getting recommended just what Google needs to recommend ("did you mean...?") this is not an actual writing assistant but a "write (and think) the Google way" mould

There is a market for grammar checkers. Word has one for 30 years. But it doesn't try to turn your writing into a textual form of Alegria art.
