> For the stated "decentralization" you need all MTAs to cooperate
no, as said you can use several at the same time and/or migrate, KEEPING your group state, contacts, chats, etc, in matrix you are bound to a single home server, and if federation is not allowed between yours and another person's that is it, you need to create a new profile in another server
that is not the case in Delta Chat where servers are replaceable dumb messages relay nodes
