The technology hasn’t existed until this year, so Notepad’s last 25 years of usage patterns don’t really mean much to it.
If you don’t want it creating data traffic, don’t use the feature.
And don’t put words in my mouth. I would love to try out something like this and could well find it quite useful, depending on the details of how it works. So “literally no one” falls flat right there, I’m a counterexample.
Technology for rich text formatting has existed for many many decades. It was not a part of Notepad. People using it were well aware of this limitation, and used notepad because that technology was not a part of it.
A non-used feature will still cause unnecessary data-traffic. At the very least to install it and update it periodically, more likely constantly because it will become part of the microsoft telemetry / advertisement profiling / tracking package that is called windows.
You want the feature. I’m interested, too. But I don’t want the feature in notepad. I want notepad to stay as freaking basic as possible, because the main thing I (and I think other people too) like about notepad is the incredible speeeeeeed at which it opens on any device because it’s “show text” and nothing else.
