I can’t recall anymore at which point Microsoft started their efforts to make Windows the most shit as possible , intentionally. I’m not saying Wordpad is something that I use , but… why???
Maybe their telemetry data showed no one actually used it. I used it a few times in the late 90s to write some papers for school, but who is going to do that now when there are so many other options? Even in the 90s it sucked, but it was all I had.
I’d argue M$ has more of a monopoly rhan any other big tech company (except maybe google in search and the mobile OS ecosystem, but at least their mobile OS is FOSS, though they are working on making it worse by removing essential apps from AOSP) and Apple has other issues (A locked down ecosystem, but it doesn’t have a majority market share, luckily, or the world will be an objectively worse place)

Trying to push M$ office even harder, and also barely anyone uses it.
And notepad is a lot better than it used to be.
Also, calling Microsoft as M$ is pretty cringe, like, are they really any more money grabbing than Apple, Amazon or any other big tech?

“M$” was funny on slashdot 20 years ago but it’s a bit tired now.
No longer funny, but very much accurate
Their true business now is to rent Microsoft Office. Windows is now just a means to sell people all kinds of services.
