Beyond saving anything bigger than a sentence it really has no use. I almost dropped dead in shock to see they updated MS paint to Paint 3D, but then I realized that Its still intentionally limited and severely clunky to encourage you to spend money on Photoshop. :/
It has a use for READING text-files

It's really nice to have a plain text editor that doesn't help them in any way, produces files that will work in the browser and they get to learn better I think. Maybe a small use case but one that makes me glad the tools exist.

I prefer txt files for config and notes. I don’t care about formatting so word or word pad are too much. I also use notepad as my goto “paste without formatting” as it’s typically faster to wash the clipboard through notepad than use whatever “paste special” ui an app has.
Formatting isn't the only reason to use it. I never bother to try notepad.

Visual cues matter. Lots of people will never realize that typing is an option if they don't see a big visual indicator that says "you can type here."

Notepad only supports CRLF, wordpad can read Unix-style files, which is a lot of files even on Windows. A great deal of software was written to unconditionally insert \n. Formatting isn't the only reason to use it. I never bother to try notepad.
