Cannot say if Notepad does it in recent versions, but on older Windows systems Wordpad was useful to quickly open texts made on Linux (with just LF instead of CR+LF) which in Notepad would show as uninterrupted.
They did indeed add LF support to Notepad, 5 years ago:

Thank you, though now I cannot anymore honestly state that MS did not introduce any new meaningful feature in Windows 10 ;).
I know you're being sarcastic but it also introduced the virtual desktop switcher, (full) DX12, made significant improvements to the console, added real ARM support for the desktop OS, replaced IE, implemented proper DPI support (all the way to per-monitor true fractional), added openssh, actual HDR support, and many more things that can be surprisingly hard to go without if you revert to a previous release.
There is always plenty wrong with each new release but the comments and jokes about ${"LATEST_RELEASE"} of ${"SOFTWARE"} being unilaterally worse just make me think the person can't deal with something changing instead of the software actually being bad.
Comments and jokes about how they could have an entire new release worth of features just bringing back what they've removed or reverse-improved over the years however... that I agree with ;).

Which is a PITA to use, so useless.

Cmd.exe is still the same

Not relevant

Not fully. They still have it as a menu item in Edge

YMMV. This one is hit or miss.

You cannot revert to a previous release in Windows.

When SW changes just for the sake of change (see calc.exe), something is wrong.

Also agree.
cmd is pretty much deprecated in favor of powershell. And both have the best terminal application available on any OS.
Has Microsoft started to provide Kitty as the default terminal?
