the specific task that matrix was built for is super generic: syncing encrypted blobs of json in realtime across a decentralised network. you can build pretty much any comms system on top of that; the question is more whether you want to write your own thing from top to bottom or build on an existing protocol. If you want decentralisation or e2ee for free, then Matrix is a nice way to get it. It doesn’t stop you layering other features on top - you just have to know what you’re building on.
