This feels like an overly opinionated editor that changes lots of small stuff just to change things. There are a ton of irrelevant changes that don't fundamentally improve the question. Okay, I'm not a native speaker and I certainly have some quirks in how I write. But those are my quirks and it's how I write, they're not bad enough I think to impede understanding.

These changes feel intrusive, it changes lots of things that simply don't need to be changed.

The edits are also not stable if you continue asking for suggestions. I tried it with the same question, just accepting all edits until it stopped. The result is the following:

Multiple rounds of this assistant seem to inevitably destroy questions.
