Every time I see a headline like "Windows introduces thing, nobody asked for it but it's coming to all versions and can't be uninstalled" (lemmy.world)

Not used enough to justify the support cost

What's to support? It's WordPad, it's pretty self-explanatory, and even if someone has a question, there's the help file.

And I can't see any reason for them to need to update it or anything, seems like it was fairly well polished for a simple word processor.

Support from the development side of things. Every feature Windows pack has a cost attached to it. Microsoft tends to prioritize features that are used by most users and prune the others to cut costs down.

Nah, they decided to prioritize a subscription to Microsoft 365/Word over a basically free simplified alternative that (used to) come with Windows.

It's all about the $$$. They'll take features away from you, and you'll like it!
