Could someone explain why there is no mention of Element?
They do. It just doesn’t work for them, but they aren’t opposed to it.
Ask the author.
Matrix, for which Element is but one client, leaks a lot of metadata and is not at all simple to set up correctly. Would be my guess.
I use it myself but it can be a real pain and very confusing to newcomers and more experienced users alike.
Plus no one client can do everything yet, not even Element.
Calling on it isn’t finished yet and those operating their own servers have to install their own TURN servers which seems either too much of a daunting task, or too expensive considering no matrix server I use has one afaik.
