I know a few people who use it to covert selections to plain text or keep a quick note. Notepad++ is more akin to an IDE if anything.
Ctrl + Shift + V will paste a selection in plain text.
Also I keep quick notes in Notepad++ because it's just as easy to open and it has persistent windows in case something happens.
*Sometimes
Because MS in their infinite Wisdom only baked that functionality into some of their apps, and even in some apps where that functionality exists, sometimes it's a different keybind.
If set up PowerToys, you can enable that behaviour universally.
Notepad also has persistent tabs now and you can close without saving
