Not an allergy, just uncomfortable playing on grass.

Has she specifically stated such? To the extent that the grass court season for most players consists of two events (a warm-up for Wimbledon and Wimbledon) how is her experience different from any other player? Is there some peculiarity in her playing style?

If you look at her overall record, it's noteworthy that she's only ever won eight single titles, four of which are Grand Slams. Seven of those came in a golden two and half year period from mid-2018 to early 2021. The notion that she as a 28 year-old, who turned pro back in 2012, is suddenly going to overcome some intangible issues and begin to dominate the women's game seems highly implausible.
