There is marketing and then there is having to listen to users complaining
how the grammar checker only marks a whole sentence without giving you
much detail on what you might need to change.

You might think things are much improved but if a user thinks the
improvemetns are insignificant they are likely to be annoyed you made
such a big deal out of it.

But if Hype is what you want then have it your way.
