Hard disagree. I could type your whole comment without any typos completely blindly (except maybe "QWERTY" because uppercaps don't get autocorrected).

Apple autocorrect has a tendency to replace technical terms with similar words, eg. rvm turns into rum or ram or something.
It's even worse on the watch somehow. I take care to hit every key exactly, the correct word is there, I hit space, boom replaced with a completely different word. On the watch it seems to replace almost every word with bullshit, not just technical terms.

Sort of related, it also doesn't let you cuss. It will insist on replacing fuck with pretty much anything else. I had to add fuck to the custom replacement dictionary so it would let me be. What language I choose to use is mine and mine alone, I don't want Nanny to clean it up.
They've pretty much solved this with iOS 17. You can even use naughty words now, provided you use it for a day or so to have it get used to your vocabulary.
Maybe my fingers are just too big but the watch for anything like texting is basically impossible for me to use.
