The problem is that some distro may not have usable dictionnary
Ex: in RHEL / CentOS there is no aspell dictionnary,
so the pspell extension is mostly unusable
and have even been removed in 8.0

So enchant is really useful
(it uses available hunspell dictionnaries)

TIL there's a spell check ext in PHP.
I've never used it and actually was asking myself why is it in the core.
I would vote for unbundling of it.
