Where is the line drawn? MS Word suggests style corrections too, despite the meaning being totally understandable.

As an enterprise feature, enterprises would interested in this because they wouldn't want their employees communications to get them cancelled or put on woke twitter. Despite their writing style guide[1] being a bit too woke for my liking i'm sure some people find it a good reference, especially if they don't have capacity to create their own corporate guide.

It's not like it's silently editing existing docs, it has an underline and you can voluntarily see what alternative wordings might be.

No they don’t decide. They suggest. Are you also offended by the suggestions?
