I am very proud I have always refused to use this kind of software, the question is "Is Grammarly a keylogger" is hard to answer per se, but it has always potential to collect enormous data about its users, it doesn't matter what they claim in their T&C, Facebook also started as a "just" social network, they ended up being one the biggest data collector of the world.

It's not a hard answer, Grammarly IS a keylogger, vast amounts of sensitive data is being actively sent to them. Whether they abuse it, or get hacked so a third party can abuse it, is the question. Currently not that we know of. But the software itself facilitates it and that they provide value doesn't change this.
