That is actually capitalist propaganda against the Luddites, who actually cared about worker's rights in a ever-changing world of technology being used by the owner class to reduce jobs and pay less. An example today would be artists and image generators.
If you are seriously arguing that automatic correction of misspelled words is not a tool for better writing, you are coming to this discussion with a shit take and can go fuck yourself.
It's a tool for better correction, not for better writing; the fact that you're mixing the two is proof that you've never learned to write. It's not a big deal; most people don't want to write, just to compose texts, and that's okay.

Don't ask stupid questions; bitch you are literally using technology every day, including your eyeglasses you wear.
Luddites hate technology because it was taking them "away from god" conservative dog shit religious rhetoric.
Being against progress such as a word processor that helps you write better is a shit take.

No sources in the article but it seems accurate to what I've heard: https://lens.monash.edu/im-a-luddite-you-should-be-one-too/
This one seems detailed and actually has citations: https://rupture.ie/articles/the-case-for-luddism
There is probably more/better info out there.

If you think word processors help you write better, you never learnt to write.
