That is actually not the case. I've been a professional copy editor since around 1988, but when I get an online manuscript to edit, the first thing I do is spell and grammar check. It actually catches a lot of the dumb mistakes faster and more consistently. I do it again at the end, in case I've introduced errors while fixing other things, too.
It's just that what earns my pay is the other 95% that I do in between.
