So, I was told to not use Signal, so all that is left is Matrix. And I am not techy enough to have my own server and neither are my relatives, so Matrix.org is the only option

Right, but how does that make it better than matrix? it is also an open protocol, and most spaces that i use are on matrix anyway.

attempted to be EEEed is a good sign i guess, since it implies it's a threat to meta and google though.

They succeded in a way, XMPP lost a lot of users back then in the era when communications where migrating from group-focussed IRC to individual-focused Whatsapp (or their respective walled-gardened messengers).
Better than matrix in the ways 2poVoq@slrpnk.net listed above.
