This is the answer.
Matrix needs to make it easier to expire or delete messages from the server, but other than that it's doing a lot of the stuff Signal should've been doing years ago. Easy to use multiple devices, easy to get messages on multiple devices, keep chat history in sync, no reliance on phone numbers for identity or single identity servers, good working federation / ability to set up private hosted groups, etc.
