Think about how many secretaries and clerks that Microsoft Office put out of work.

On the other hand, isn’t it better that everyone can type their own reports and check spelling and grammar themselves via code?

It is, and that's why it's complicated. I'm not saying it's the wrong move, but there's still a dilemma there.

Is it really? Seems like an awful lot of stuff just doesn't get checked any longer. The "checking" done by MS Word et al is no substitute for the eye of a skilled human.
