Can't just have a basic system utility that does what it needs to and no more, like *nix OSes do. No, gotta bloat up and enshittify everything no matter how mundane. We didn't need you to turn Paint into a half-ass shitty Photoshop, and we don't need this either. That's what a word processor is for.
