No. Morse is a long-established communication protocol for letters. This tool is just something named poorly.
Hear! Hear!

You're assuming a oot about the people who use these programs. If you wanna hate on the program itself, sure, be my guest. But, please, don't insult their users. It achieves absolutely nothing, and only makes you come off as rude and presumptuous.
A large audience for these types of tools is people for whome English is not their first language (this includes me, so please forgive any spelling/grammar mistakes you may find). This audience may be very eloquent and stylistic in their native language, but learning languages (especially when you have passed your teens) is hard, and sounding professional and sleek requires a lot more effort than you might think.
Here's where Grammarly comes in. It reformats your sentences to be more consistent with your projected attitude, removing a ton of work for some people.
I found the comment slightly witty, not insulting. I mean, you have to be able to take (or get) a joke!
I know plenty of people for whom the tool is really useful -- my foreign-born wife for example. But were she to limit her native expression with the same kind of "simplifying" that the tool offers, I am sure she would not be perceived as having any kind of personality at all.
For me, when I write -- and I like to write -- I choose to break convention often. The tool frustrates me and wastes my time. Sure there is an audience for this, but I don't want to sound like everybody else. That's MY attitude.
...and reading the comments does make it sound like a key-logger ... so no, I can't say I trust the extension.
I've always wondered if the difference in tone between French and English that I usually perceive on forums has something to do with French being my mother tongue. Indeed it usually feels like there's more snarkiness when people speak French, and the discussion quickly turns to a battle to know who's the smartest, all the while leaving the criteria of what defines being smart unanswered.
There's a difference for sure, at least in my perception, but some of that is my own baggage. I'll give an example: I was using Symfony for a project, but found the tone of the Symfony website and tutorials, in the English texts, to be annoying and a little patronizing and a little self-aggrandizing. But one day I heard a youtube video with Symfony founder, and Frenchman, Fabien Potencier speaking. For the first time I understood his genuine enthusiasm. Up to then, I'd been "hearing" it wrong -- same text, different emphasis and intonation.
Now when I read the text, I try to imagine M. Potencier saying it aloud, and it sounds almost dear.

Shout out to Lincoln-Sudbury RHS where Hack began...and JOVE!
Can't imagine that fantastic experiment happening again;
PDP-11 running Unix given to a cohort of teenagers to maintain.
Thanks Brian!
And obviously the lettering is a lyrical joy.
