XMPP by its extensible nature can be a social network (Movim), a community organizer (Libervia), or can be used for basic precense, etc. & these can sit atop your XMPP server (Prosody, ejabberd, etc.). Matrix, without exensibility, is kinda relegated to chat (text, voice, video) only.

Matrix is very extensible. You can start sending your own yc.toastal.test.first event type and put any json as value

Like the other commenter said, Matrix is very extensible, as you can just send custom events as you wish. There's also lots of emerging non-IM platforms built on top of Matrix, like collaborative whiteboards, virtual rooms, embeddable comments, etc.

With the new protocol-level performance MSCs coming around the corner, Matrix is becoming ever more appealing for all sorts of applications.
