Sorry if this sounds critical but is delta any better than the matrix protocol? It looks similar enough

Also side note I wish integrating all of these together was an option like prowlarr is for the *arr torrent stack

I just tried creating an account on Deltachat. The onboarding generates an account and password for you in the client, you can see them in the settings, but otherwise you don't have to worry about it.

Quite better than Matrix, and the app is also more intuitive.

They are not the same usecase. Matrix tries to have large public groups with message histories similar to Discord where as Delta Chat is more like WhatsApp, covering mostly private conversations in 1:1 or small groups.
