I think your argumentation is flawed. If your server+consumer app combo can do that, do that
- encryption wasn't really there (and still is experimental)
- decentralization does not exist to the degree that Matrix provides it
And Matrix is fundamentally different. It works somewhat similar to git compared to XMPP being more like IRC, which results in a completely different form of decentralization. E2EE is different as well - even if both are based on the Signal Protocol: Matrix encrypts for groups of people instead of single devices
I doubt Matrix would be where it is if they tried to bend XMPP
No idea how you got that understanding. With respect to adoption the server does not matter at all (though many consider it advantageous if it is not matrix.org)
1. Press voice button next to text box on the bottom
2. Say what you have to say
3. Press "Send"
Regarding Riot, which is called Element by now, you may want to update your knowledge
However, existing tech giants have little reason to do so, unless users vote with their usage (which is sabotaged by lock-in effects through the existing social networks...)
2. Using humans for testing makes no sense bc. animals are exactly used to avoid early testing on humans
