A functionality of Emacs would depend on an externally installed tool, 
that's all.  Just like M-x ispell depends on an externally installed tool. 
And a user does not have to "jump through hoops to download, install, and 
configure it", it's a single (but large: 220 MB) zip file to download and 
unzip somewhere.  There is also an optional per-language ngram data set, 
which is much bigger (8.5 GB for English) but not available for all 
languages that LanguageTool supports.
