Is GNU Aspell the best spell checker for emacs on macOS?
Hunspell seems popular as well. I believe it's the one used by Firefox and LibreOffice, and I think it's the system spell checker in MacOS already? đ¤ˇââď¸

Why don't common browsers use Soundex for spelling suggestions?
Almost all browsers use the Hunspell library for spell checking. You should investigate what methods it uses for stemming and suggesting corrections. How does that algorithm work for non-English languages? The main variation you will see between browsers in spelling suggestions is the base dictionary that is used.

Does anyone know how to change the dictionary that W10 pulls from? Ideally replace with Google's brain?
I don't think so. Looking at the Chromium source it appears to use Hunspell. This is an okay spell checker, but not AI based AFAIK, only "Morphological analysis, stemming and generation".

Autocorrect anything with Google as a go-to spell check
Are you familiar with Hunspell? Dictionaries are comprehensive enough to be part of different Office Suites, so I don't see them as constricted to autocorrect.

spell-check selected text?
One can implement Huntspell which is what all browsers use (for example when typing in text areas). Is very simple and is C++.

Rebuilding the spellchecker, pt.4: Introduction to suggest algorithm
There is, for example, a curious evaluation table provided by a modern ML-based spellchecker JamSpell. According to it, JamSpell is awesomeâwhile Hunspell is a mere 0.03% better than dummy ("fix nothing") spellchecker... Which doesn't ring true, somehow!

Rebuilding the spellchecker, pt.3: Lookupâcompounds and solutions
That's a huge topic, which I am planning to cover towards the end of the article series please like and subscribe, but in short: yes, my opinion is that spellchecking is actually a "machine learning problem in disguise", and most of existing dictionaries are more a roundabout way of storing something-not-unlike-models than analytical data.
But ML approach will raise a question of data availability. What good your "deep learning OSS spellchecker" will do if there aren't good (and open) models for it which cover as much languages as existing Hunspell dictionaries do? And what if adding a bunch of new words requires laborous model retraining? It is not unsolvable, but non-trivial.
I believe all the giants have something like this inside (I don't think spelling correction in Google search bar is handled with Hunspell, right?), but it is much harder to do as an open tool, ready to embedding into other software.
There are a notable attempts, though: JamSpell for one (https://github.com/bakwc/JamSpell), which has an open "free" models, and more precise commercial ones; source code is open (maybe also only for using "simplistic" models, haven't dug deeper).

Rebuilding the most popular spellchecker. Part 1
Obviously, there are open-source spellcheckers other than Hunspell. GNU aspell (that at one point was superseded by Hunspell, but still holds its ground in English suggestion quality), to name one of the older ones; but also there are novel approaches, like SymSpell, claiming to be "1 million times faster" or ML-based JamSpell, claiming to be much more accurate.
What are some alternatives?
SymSpell - SymSpell: 1 million times faster spelling correction & fuzzy search through Symmetric Delete spelling correction algorithm
nuspell - đď¸ Fast and safe spellchecking C++ library
SymSpell - A JavaScript implementation of the Symmetric Delete spelling correction algorithm.
spellsitter.nvim - Treesitter powered spellchecker
