Spelling and grammar checks have been around for ages and we use them all the time. However there is much more to good writing or reporting than just spelling and grammar and these spell check functions haven't been great at picking up on more than that.
Microsoft Word as part of its grammar checks also looks at refinements that include "Embarrassing Words", "Jargon", "Simpler Wording", "Words expressing uncertainty" and has a section around Inclusiveness and Slang to name only a few. But I don't see this reflected in a tweet somewhere around big brother nonsense. Grammarly are also creating a business model on providing these additional insights.
As someone who writes reports as part of my job I am glad that there are further refinements coming, especially around conciseness which is something new graduates struggle with.
