Oh it is definitely by necessity. The Matrix protocol handles images,
referenced replies, videos just to name a few. Compared to IRC, it is
surely larger.

Emacs also holds Tetris and there will probably be riots if that is ever
questioned :)
Jokes aside, Emacs has long been not-just-a-text-editor. Reading/sending
Emails has been supported since 80s. There is even a web browser
included (and it sees regular use in my Emacs mail client to render
shitty HTML emails).
Both IRC and now Matrix (as contemporary semi/real-time communication
mechanism) seem quite appropriate.
Dependencies argument is valid, but perhaps that is better discussed upon
by Adam and Emacs maintainers.
Thanks,
Payas
