Ah, MS constantly trying their very best to force everyone into their shitty cloud service. No thanks, I’d rather use Libreoffice and for quick jots, notepad. Hell, I’d rather even use the old MS-DOS EDIT than touch any office product.
While I love me some ++, I find that notepad just loads faster for me. Although I will say that for scrap code snippets for projects, it’s pretty damn good.
I don’t think that’s the sole reason. I don’t know anyone who uses WordPad. Like you said, for quick text edits people use Notepad or some other simple text editor and for anything more sophisticated than that people use a full office suite like LibreOffice or MS Office or pirated copies thereof.
It just doesn’t make sense to maintain a third word processor software that nobody bothers to really use.
I use Wordpad on the reg because it handles formatting better for when I copy/paste it into other media. It opens up instantly and I don’t have to pay for Microsoft Office.
I used WordPad for certain text files, because it word-wraps differently from Notepad. Admittedly, that happens less than once a month. I will only slightly miss WordPad.

Notepad++ is what I use. It’s great.
Notepad++ and WordPad serve different purposes. One is a plaintext editor and the other is a rich text editor.

Sublime Text is where it’s at
