Right? I never quite understood who it was actually for, either. I mean, notepad makes sense, but wordpad just seemed like a worse version of MS Word.

I guess it could have been for those who needed something more sophisticated than notepad but didn’t want to spend money to get Word?

Idk, that’s the only reason I can think of right now lol.

It’s pretty out of the way for quick notes, while Word has so much going on, while Notepad doesn’t have some important features

It is good for distribution of readme files with software. WordPad files let you do rich text unlike Notepad.
