You'd think / hope / expect editors and IDE's would put squiggly underline's under incorrect apostrophe'd plural's, but ala's.
I always assumed it was mainly a thing with Dutch people who have English as a second language, given that using 's for plural's is common, also in words shared with English like baby's or ski's, but it seems to be an issue with English speaker's too.
There's one area where I also struggle with apostrophes and pluralization, that being acronyms which must be kept lowercase. Whenever I hit such a situation, I usually just reword the entire sentence just to avoid it.
