I've used windows since the 90s. Not once have I intentionally used WordPad.
It did open by default for some file types for a long time (.doc), usually mangling the content cause it couldn't actually handle them properly. I think it was also the default for .txt files at some point, causing many curse words when editing plain text files, that invisibly weren't so plain any more after... Programs expecting a configuration fine really don't like that sort of thing.
So: I'm very ok with this. Just install LibreOffice or something if you needa Word-like experience. Install notepad++ for anything "plain".
What are you people doing to your phones? Since smartphones started being a thing I haven't cracked a single screen, and yes I do drop them. Not daily, but it happens. Not onto concrete from the 4th floor either.
Or: Maybe spend more than 100$ on a phone and it'll actually be fine, cause it isn't shit?
