I'm all for Matrix, but the things is, Matrix is primarily developed by people in the UK. They will be easily forced to implement backdoors.

Hopefully some trustworthy third party can audit the code if this ever becomes a thing.

I'm not sure auditing would be enough. We would literally need a development team outside of dictatoric countries like the UK, where such things can be forced.
