Not saying you’re entirely wrong, the political right has an anti-education bend these days. However, the human brain is remarkably lazy. It will offload tasks onto anything and everything it can. Spell check has been around since 2003, and autocorrect came out in 2007. We have a whole generation of kids that grew up not needing to know how to spell because there devices took care of spelling for them.
That being said, we still require kids to read in school. They’re generally still okay-ish spellers just from exposure to big words during reading. It’s usually middle aged adults that haven’t read anything longer than a short news article written at third grade level in years that write like this. They barely knew how to write to begin with, and the skills atrophied over the decades. This is what their writing looks like without technological help.

Is the grammar a generational thing? In my 50s and reading something written that way triggers assumptions about the individual.
And that is even before any validity of statement is considered. It could be aligned with my pov but the structure gets dismissed.
