I think you need to reread 1984. Telescreens were used to spy on the populace. That's more than potential indicated by overly broad language in a privacy policy. No one's made the case that Grammerly is spying, hence "predatory" is inflammatory.

"No one's made the case that Grammerly is spying" According to their privacy policy and the twitter reply ("Grammarly does not store all processed text, we do not use text to do anything but provide and improve our service"), they keep at least some of the text. So they log your text, but it's not spying - so when does it become spying? When the first warrant is served? And when that happens, will it not be spying because "you agreed to it by using the service, it was all spelled out in the 'overly broad' privacy policy"?
