Why do websites often try to correct survival of the fittest with survival ofthe fittest?

Websites may often autocorrect "survival of the fittest" to "survival of the fittest" because the latter is a more commonly recognized term due to widespread use. The corrected version may also align better with the original intended meaning of the phrase, emphasizing the idea of adaptation and success within a given environment rather than promoting competition or dominance.
