UX issues aside, one plus for Mumble/Murmur is privacy. Should Discord some day be purchased by one of the big players, I would expect them to follow the path of Zoom and add voice transcription thus allowing them to not only save text chats forever, but also save everything that everyone says. Their user-base are already asking for it [1] One would have more control over this on a Murmur Mumble server. In my experience, people are more relaxed with things they say vs. things they type. There is the assumption that only the people visible in the channel are listening. It is only a matter of time before voice transcription is standard on all the large platforms and I am not confident that this data will be protected properly.

Some of it is probably already transcribed too. It's just that doing it for every possible accent and language is not easy without training, so they probably don't have everything transcribed, but some of it probably is and the rest is just waiting in archives for when they want to give it more attention.
