They use discord because it's popular. Insert Ouroborus argument here, and at the end of the day it's still the most popular app.

Using this logic why shouldn't I just download chrome and forget this project exists?

Depending on your use case, maybe you should. If your use case is "using the internet today securely", then you definitely should.

I'm not trying to create a logical puzzle that teasing the right details out of will solve, I'm not even advocating for or against their decision, discord fuckin sucks shit and I can't wait for element to continue to mature towards enough feature parity that a switch is seamless so that I can actually convince my friends to switch too, I'm reporting a reality of life on the internet today.
