I've observed two things. One, writing is different to speaking, because it's async, you can think before you write, you can edit, etc.

But second, speaking in a non-native language makes you think harder about what you're about to say. Less colloquialisms, more focus on making sure your meaning is understood, more sensitivity in case you might offend someone, perhaps?

It's not new either; a lot of science and whatnot has been done in people's not-native language, like French, German, Latin, etc. Another factor there is the lingo of the field; I can't simply say "Kubernetes is een open-bron houder orkestratiesysteem voor het automatiseren van de inzet, schalen, en het beheer van zachte waren" without confusing half my native speaking audience.
