I understand the idea, but you are wrong or at least not completely right (I can't speak for all markets).
I know someone who learned to spell as a kid using Google, because if he didn't spell the words correctly he wouldn't get to see pictures of the moon or whatever he wanted to see.
Also after they learned to guess what people meant, Google used to be able to respect +, "" and also the verbatim option hidden beneath a button.
For a while they would also ask politely: did you mean x?
Since then it has become worse and worse: silently rewriting, fuzzing without asking etc.
