eh, there's plenty of tools out there like notepad++, atom, obsidian, etc.
Wordpad is WYSIWIG, the alternatives you mentioned are more for replacing Notepad.
But yeah, why use WordPad when LibreOffice exists?
WordPad is wonderful for opening notepad documents written by modders who don't understand how to make paragraphs
And none of them are doing what WordPad is doing.
Or if you're using for purely notes, OneNote is like, right there. In your system tray. For free.
