This is not the case, Matrix rooms can be set to allow viewing history only from joining time on. And that is how IRC bridge rooms are mostly configured, indeed based on policies from the bridged IRC networks.

Ah ok I remember this was a problem that was mentioned by the hackint network when people wanted to add a bridge there. We moved our community to OFTC as a result.

Perhaps this was only introduced later? I'm talking about 3 years ago. But good to see this was fixed.
