I think the server infrastructure is different? SimpleX is similar to a federation network, isn’t it? Session uses an Onion-based approach like Tor.
Yes. The difference is that you need to pay to host a Session node, and pay BIG money. That locks out most people that aren’t cryptobros, companies or government agencies. While both a Tor/i2p node and Simplex server (or XMPP, or Matrix) are decidedly easy to set up.
