It’s astounding that many native speakers do not even notice they’re writing the wrong tense, whereas to me it reads like nonsense.)

Hi!
Yeah, that's old. Maybe I messed up the terms. I guess I meant futur proche:
Il va arrivé.
Il est arriver.
While the latter is less likely, the former is pretty common. And that's only one of many examples of nonsensical, incompetent writing.
You on the other hand have given another example which illustrates the same.
Actually, due to the same pronunciation and also it being totally detached from the writing, I sometimes do similar mistakes. But that happens only the first time I write the text - when I reread it it strikes me as totally incorrect and I fix it immediately. While I have the impression that a large proportion of French people just don't know which form they should write.
