I mean you're right, but also look at what emacs or vim are doing on the linux side. Overloading your notepad application is hardly a concept birthed on Windows.

I'd argue the Linux equivalent is more something like nano, and I wouldn't say nano is overloaded

Vim has kept to simple sanity.

We don't talk about LazyVim.

Edit: I heard Emacs might be getting a text editor added soon.

I'm not so sure about that. Vim has syntax highlighting, programming language support (assisted via ctags), two terminal emulators, a window manager, two (arguably three) programming languages, transparent remote file editing...

So anyway, I use an editor that doesn't waste my time: Ed, man! !man ed.

Makes perfect sense. It is the standard editor.

Are you saying that extensibility is the same thing as bloat? Weird take if so.
