You are forgetting that a huge category of people need all their notes in one place, organized and separate from everything else. Sure you can do this with Notepad and manage everything in folders etc. but that takes significant effort. Effort that many people don't want to put in. That is why most note apps, even something like Notion, exist. To simplify the organising process. You aren't paying for the editing experience but everything else.
Of course, for very simple note taking you don't need this but it again comes back to my original point that by using a dedicated app, everything, including the rough 1 minute notes, are in one easy-to-find place.
I myself take a lot of txt notes but easily lose them as well. Fortunately for me, they aren't important and I rarely need to access them again but it's always nice if I have them all in once place so I can go over them and see what I wrote/did.
Disclaimer: I am a developer of a note-taking application called Notesnook[1]. Some might say it is a (hopefully better) alternative to Standard Notes.

I'm sure there are more. I wish it wasn't written in Electron, but it wouldn't exist otherwise.

It is open source, you can run the server yourself: https://github.com/standardnotes/syncing-server

Shameless plug. I wrote a go app that keeps syncing your notes to GitHub/gitlab.
I simply maintain a giant plain text note. Sometimes I hope there is a better way to search, but it's decent enough.

I use deft. A hot key brings up the list, then typing narrows the list based on name or content.
