I haven't purchased a program like that recently, but surely they've
gotten better over the years. Is that not the case?

No they haven't.

They HAVE, but there's no market for such things, not even with the
Military Intelligence School at Fort Huachuca on ELINT training.

The two conditions you state are still problems and good
reasons to learn to copy by ear.

Which is NO reason to mandate code testing for an AMATEUR radio
license by the government.

The human brain can sort it out when the
computer cannot.

Then all the other radio services "should" have used it for communications,
right?

Wrong. All the other radio services involved in communications have
either DROPPED it or never considered it in the first place.

Poorly sent and spaced code is also still a problem.

So?

US radio amateurs who do NOT use morse code modes (the majority)
don't require morsemanship skills.
