Wordpad always seemed like an annoying and unnecessary half-step between notepad and word to me.

Microsoft retires WordPad after 28 years — app no longer available as of Windows 11 24H2

It was very niche, but it’s great for viewing docs or other light work on a system you don’t want to install a whole office suite onto.
You can still do that but it’s through word webview. Some people won’t like that option.
I don't want to install "word webview" on a server in order to look at a large log file or peruse some XML.
You don’t, it’s a browser. You shouldn’t be doing anything interacting from a server anyways.
Word is now so bloated that I fear using it. It's nice to have Wordpad.
