Why Grammarly browser extension is not supported on HN?

Question

Grammarly browser extension is not supported on Hackernews: "For technical reasons, we currently do not check your text on this website."screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/JlJ23ab.pngI wonder what technical reasons could there be? HN seems like a pretty straightforward site with valid html tags like `textarea`.
