Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?

I'm looking into hosting one of these for the first time. From my limited research, XMPP seems to win in every way, which makes me think I must be missing something. Matrix is almost always mentioned as the de-facto standard, but I rarely saw arguments why it is better than XMPP?...

I'm trying out another extremely lightweight nostr relay

In order to ensure that my account's historical data is backed up, I am worried that other relay servers will disappear or fail

delta.chat

We've been using it on our phones and desktops for three years now, it's very stable

We use a self-hosted roundcube mail server, which is not necessary, and we did initially assign each person an additional account dedicated to delta.chat to prevent inbox clutter, but that didn't happen.

Nowadays, we prefer to send and receive emails in delta.chat. One of my groups already has 70 members, contains a lot of images and PDFs, and it's still very fluid to use.

We also run bots for integration with other systems, such as task management, meeting notifications, etc.

It's basically real-time, even sending large files is very fast, I don't know the details of the reason, maybe it's because there is not much difference between IMAP and TLS, or because the roundcube we deploy is super fast?

It's too difficult to connect devices in two intranets, if you don't have a speed requirement, I think you can use tuntox

What is your preferred method for backing up several TB of data?

What storage software could I run to have an archive of my personal files (a couple TB of photos) that doesn't require I keep a full local copy of all the data? I like the idea of a simple and focused tool like Syncthing, but they seem to be angling towards replication....
