Because there is a higher barrier of entry, people know what they are doing. That’s a good thing.

Its mind boggling how even native english speakers can’t get that right

Why do you care? Why does anyone care? You understand what the person means, that’s the most important thing when communicating. Grammar on the internet is so unimportant, even people who know the difference might not care enough to coerce autocorrect into choosing the right one.

If you can’t type a text message with proper grammar then you can’t type anything else either. It doesn’t take almost any more effort to do it right. If your writing is full of mistakes you sound a bit stupid. You don’t need to be perfect but you should atleast try.

Also the joke was that I incorrectly typed “its” there

Is it though? It’s almost a pendantic quirk of the written language that things need spelled differently that sound the same.

Like, we ask know what you mean if you say “I was talking to the Johnsons and there cows ran away. Its total madness in this town lately.”
