My understanding is outdated but what I recall was mentions that Matrix leaks metadata like a government fund, and that it has the same issue Mastodon has of being "nu-tech", protocols and systems being made too heavy, under the assumption that everyone has octacores with liquid nitrogen refrigeration and 32 GB RAM to run servers. In comparison, while XMPP is not as lightweight as IRC, you do can still run something like Prosody at marginal CPU usage cost.
