Comment:

 The Excerpt meta box and the explanation string are only available in
 Classic Editor, which should not have many enhancements now.

 Also, editing the text is technically possible already with the

 I made an
 [https://gist.github.com/sabernhardt/32651a038533e5929f406db4d241f4b3
 example function] to replace the text, without a link.
