the decentralized nature of XMPP is a huge plus for me.
I guess Matrix also has that, in theory, but from what I have seen the matrix.org homeserver still effectively functions as a central point to track metadata.
I guess the issue with XMPP is that people can send unencrypted messages to you, perhaps with deanonymizing information?
Why no mentioning of XMPP (other then Jitsi, which sort of is XMPP)? It is at least as good if not better then Matrix.

Mainly preference, I don’t prefer it because it isn’t encrypted by default.
I could add a section on XMPP I spose.
Neither is Matrix if you use some 3rd party clients. With the most popular XMPP clients e2ee is enabled by default.
