I remembered another issue with Matrix.
Signal and XMPP (via Quickly) have a simple phone number based signup workflow that my family have grown used to.
My family are not happy on having to remember/use passwords/keys. That's a shame, but is ultimately a constraint I have to deal with when persuading them to install/use an IM app.
Replying to myself... looks like some Matrix homeservers support OpenID-style login. That's probably fine for family.
