"the bulk of users is either too stupid or unwilling to invest even the tiniest amount of effort into their privacy."
I don't feel the need to pull my punches.
This is the most deluded, idiotic response I've seen on hacker news in a long time.
It seems unlikely that the average person (or even a non-techie person of above average intelligence - e.g. a doctor) will be able to set up matrix in a way that is more secure than just installing signal. Your security relies not just on you but on the weakest node in your network. Getting good security might require trade-offs. Your all or nothing mindset will not achieve it. The saying "Perfect is the enemy of done" comes to mind. Perfect security (or what you purpose) is not one of the options in a secure system that has to exist in the real world.
Please remove your head from it's dark cavernous home.
Love, Me

Based on my interactions with users writ large, this assessment is on the money. Normies do not care and will never care.
