> Keyboard helpers are 'positive aid' vs 'no aid', not 'restriction' vs 'no restriction'.

In an environment (phone touchscreen) where the aid becomes expected (typing is impractically slow/difficult otherwise), this is a distinction without a difference.

No, because you need only type the word once and it's in the dictionary.

Almost everything on this list is words that are in the dictionary and apple is happy to pretend work normally but they silently fail in certain circumstances.
