One of the most annoying companies that ad spams like crazy in 2020/2021. i literally had to beg them to stop sending ads my way.
Now they are running out of money and have to cut staff. How ironic!

Protip: if you spent nearly two decades in full-time education but somehow remain unable to construct a proper written sentence in your native language... your parents should ask for their money back.
In principle, I agree with you. But long ago, I worked as a copy editor, and can tell you that time in school has a weak correlation with the ability to construct a proper written sentence.
But no, nothing I've seen from Grammarly suggests that it would be much help.
I would have thought that both were different, but grammatically correct, with almost identical meaning.
"A properly written sentence" is a sentence that is properly written, and "a proper written sentence" is a written sentence that is proper.
But now I have achieved semantic saturation, and am not sure anymore.

The way I read it, the choice of "proper written sentence" gives it the flavour of "Proper. Written. Sentence" - as in, with an annoyed emphasis.
As always, you can apply rules to English if you like, but sometimes they are optional.
Anecdotally, the individuals I work with who use Grammarly are among the most proficient speakers and writers. They can write fine, but they'd prefer to spend time writing rather than editing and Grammarly picks up the slack.
