In 2012~2015 I was considered a "tin foil hat" type of person by my friends just because I talked about privacy and was conscious of who has access to my messages or data. Fast forward to now - a good chunk of non-tech people are genuinely scared of data collection and they start to take it seriously. As for Matrix or Signal, at least for me both are fine. It feels extremely good that when exchanging contacts with tech related people most of the time they use either Signal or Matrix. Signal is becoming very popular between non-tech people too. I can see that a good amount of my contacts have it already.
