> There's no such thing as better writer

If someone hones their craft such that they become more effective at articulating their thoughts, at making their argument more persuasive, at moving their audience, at reaching more people, wouldn’t we say that they’ve become a better writer than they used to be?

I'd call those people marketers.

Say there are two people with same understanding of a nuanced argument. One fails to articulate that argument in a written form such that the reader is able to understand it. The other is successful in doing that. I'll say the second person is a better writer. No marketing involved.
