The problem in this specific instance, the infrastructure does exist. It's even possible to set up a Discord/Matrix bridge as well, so you could set up your infrastructure on the FLOSS/Decentralized option, and then still bridge to Discord for those who prefer that.
The problem of decentralized/user-controlled communication is adjacent to the problem that this is trying to solve, so it's not even like "We're working on this, it's just not ready yet", they chose to use a centralized option over a decentralized one that is ready.
In this specific instance, I would argue that it is immoral to use Discord[0], as it disregards the efforts of a production ready project serving the same goal, in a different space.
[0] Perhaps not quite immoral, but pushing that direction. It certainly casts doubt on their actual aspirations.
Edit: I would like to thank you for your comment however, as it did make me stop and think for a while, and better consider my position on this topic.
