It is not, but I don’t think e2ee is really needed in most contexts.
On one-on-one chats, or closely knit group chats, it does make sense, but for large groups it tends to break things. Any large room on matrix will have encryption disabled.
In the context of discord alternatives, discord doesn’t do encryption in the first place anyway, so it’s not like it would be missed.
I agree that apart from https to and from something like a forum/public chat room there is no point in encrypting that space, since it’s public. However, one on one chats and VoIP calls I think is a different thing. As long as it is made clear that private DMs and calls aren’t encrypted, preferably stated along with all features on the webpage, then it becomes a conscious choice for the consumer/user.
