Yes and no. decentralization is great for a lot of reasons but it does come with downsides. I don't know about you, but i convinced my family and friends to use and keep Signal for years now and i don't think i would have had such luck with Matrix/Element, let alone a p2p app.
I'm glad decentralized options exist and think they deserve more funding and love, however.
My family uses Matrix, and if some don't, I don't talk to them online.
I managed to convince my family to use XMPP. Since about 2015. It's been great, and apparently is getting better since more are joining :)
Just as a side note: You can easily use Matrix with a signal bridge if you selfhost (or use Beeper, which is Matrix with central bridge management)
