I had my hopes up after seeing “native” in the title. But then, I have decisively given up on Matrix ever being anything even remotely a solution for individual-individual kind of personal usage. But I do hope to see it being used at (my) work places soon. There are multiple reasons for that. It costs money and I doubt the general populace will pay for that and since Matrix/element won’t harvest data and destroy privacy it’s a no go. They don’t have limitless resources like large corps. Fragmented apps, using different severs (let alone running the server itself) in the too many clients isn’t “people scalable”. (It it ever even begins to try it it has to one one single blessed server and a blessed app - which at least the current such app Element is long time from) So no, they can’t and won’t invest in making Element mainstream for personal usage and rightly so. So what Matrix/Element is going to be? Slack, Google Workspace Char etc: - YES! WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram: NO!
