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.
