They represent two different spellcheck tools.

The red squiggle underline approach unions the Primary and Secondary dictionaries but does not track lang attributes as it is designed to be used while actively entering or editing text. This is done for speed and because when text is being edited, the tags may still be incomplete so no real lang attributes tracking can be used. This is part of CV and not a separate dialog so it must share the keyboard shortcuts set in Preferences.

The Spellcheck dialog is designed for use when primary editing/entry of text is done and tags are well formed. It fully tracks lang attributes. And can spellcheck in multiple languages (as many as used) simultaneously. It can update and fix misspelled words in multiple places simultaneously. Again this is a separate dialog that uses its own different dedicated shortcuts.

And why can't the context menu in the Spellchecker be the same as the one in Codeview with the inappropriate entries greyed-out.

I notice the user assigned shortcuts are not displayed in that menu, whereas the industry standard shortcuts (Ctrl+X,C,V and A) are displayed. Displaying shortcuts in menu's is how I get to remember them.
