This just is not true. The fact that you are writing this, clearly shows you don't know of Element/Matrix.

When you use Matrix, and open a web client, the only thing you have to do is 1) logging in and 2) providing a password, key file, scan a QR code, OR compare Emojis - and you get everything synced.

The same holds for any type of client. I barely see a loss of convenience, let a lone something being hard or impossible.

You are right, I never used Matrix. I guess i have to check it out. Missed it. Usable client apps for martix are what, 1.5 years old?

Signal seems to have been around for ages. OTP even longer

Older, Element (also known as Riot and Vector) should already have been existing for at least 5 years.
