I mean, maybe? There could certainly exist a phone-verified Matrix server, obviously, but unless the default server that is used for Matrix does that, it's still going to be a bit of friction entering in the server information.

The only major discovery server on Matrix is currently the vector.im one, and it only supports email identity registration. As many people have pointed out, most users care far more about usability than they do security/privacy, so a service that allows an optional registration of identity using the currently-standard identity tracking system of phone numbers is pretty much a requirement.
