KVD is right, this is just another example of how the Access team is ticking, ignoring consequently any input from real developers from the real world they are working in. Wishful thinking by MS is no replacement for listing to the customers and developers!

That (a display driver issue) was my guess too when I accountered that effect first. But I saw this later on the screens of many of my customers (Access application users), so I started to believe that it is more an Access issue...

The Access team is adjusting our status for this request – we are planning to embed the Monaco Editor (support for SQL Editor improvements) into Access, to be released within the next semester (first half of 2021), which will provide capabilities such as syntax highlighting, IntelliSense, SQL comments, and more. We are excited to have this capability released by next year, and we appreciate the energy and enthusiasm on this feature request. We still have a long ways to go to improve our experience with SQL, so please stay tuned as we execute on this objective!
Thanks,

This is one of my favorite suggestions for developers for decades now (literally)! Maybe this time MS will listen...

Thank you for your feedback.
In terms of setting SQL Server as the default database format, that is currently not in scope for the Access product. We have provided and will continue to provide efficient methods to integrate your Access data with SQL server, and the team will continue to develop more features that streamline the data migration experience (see https://support.office.com/en-us/article/migrate-an-access-database-to-sql-server-7bac0438-498a-4f53-b17b-cc22fc42c979)
However, the ACE database engine has and will continue to be Access’s central data storage unit.
There are new features coming soon that will improve the Access: SQL experience, and we are excited to share this news. Please stay tuned! :)

...and by the way, there is absolutely no technical reason for not providing an option to choose between the macro and the VBA wizard. They are both still there. If you work in an old MDB database, the default for the wizard is still VBA!
