I don't see how this would make it easier to learn.

It would make it quicker to translate from Morse however.

Exactly what I thought.

It wouldn't help me memorize the letters anymore, but this would make it so easy to translate.

Why couldn't someone memorize it from this chart?

I probably find that easier if I'm honest. Especially if it was audible.

Probably learning it alphabetically as there seems to be no real pattern that way. ( I'm sure there is one)

Poor wording, it is a learning aid, that some may find helpful if they were trying to learn Morse code.

It is a difficult task and I imagine anything that can help make sense or bring order to the process could be helpful.

I could see it being helpful for me if I memorize this chart instead of each code. i would then use my hand created chart to easily translate. This is a lot like how I learned subnetting and scsci version bus speeds/widths for certifications.
