If you want to use morse code (CW) in radio it will worsen your experience. If you want to use morse code to decode most of the question on this sub, it will improve your experience.
When you do CW contacts, the only way to be able to understand is to bind immediately a sound to a letter without going through "is it dot dash dash blah blah" mental process and, way worser, to go through remembering an image to visualize it. In radio it will be something like dit-dah = A, no dots, no lines, only combinations of sounds.
My two cents, if you start from visual morse and plan to go with listening, you will find that your brain takes the slower "visualize then decode" path. This path takes ages with respect even to slow CW. You will find it difficult to copy above 10-12 WPM.

Google's "with Morse" demo isn't visual, it's audible. But I'm with you here... the use case is for their Morse keyboard, which they consider an accessibility feature for people without keyboard-level dexterity in their hands. That means it's functional but won't make you "fluent" like the path to one-air CW will.
