XMPP is better despite it's flaws privacy-wise, since so much data gets "hogged back" to matrix.org (tbf it's a similar case with lemmy.world but Lemmy at least didn't receive funding from a company most likely linked to Mosad). Also has more lightweight servers in general.
Isn't like the entire point of Matrix that it's end to end encrypted, thus rendering any data servers acquire useless?
You could make the metadata argument, but having one node aware of even most transactions is better than having one node aware of all of them.
