I would agree with that. We need something that works now, not when someone finally manages to reign in the Matrix protocol.As it stands I cannot send a friend an invite to Matrix and expect them to like it one bit (which turns out, is what reality looks like).

"I need...", "We need..."

The world doesn't really care about what you need. It simply doesn't work like that. If you have a need, do something about it and help out.

I'm aware the world doesn't care but I simply don't have to time among other projects and my actual job to write a ground up chat application plus federated protocol from the ground up. The "just write it yourself" attitude is frankly insulting to the end user who can't code at all.
