Sure. In my opinion, a communication service that does not
federate with open-source clients and servers is a proprietary
service, even if it is free-gratis to use. The owner of that
service can do whatever they want, and nothing short of
government regulation can or will prevent them.

Monopolies are always bad; it's just that sometimes they are economically
worth having when very tightly regulated.

That's an opinion.

Not enough for what? The primary issue I have with Matrix is that
there's too much concentration of servers under the control of
matrix.org - but I think that they believe that too, and that
this will be rectified over the next few years.
