Can you give an example of a "new feature" that you think would be stymied by this?

> how would it work with group chats where you can add and remove people arbitrarily?

I don't quite understand what issue you're pointing to. I'm not sure if you're unsure of how e2e encryption works or something else. Can you ask your question again with more specificity?

Sending money for example.

Haven’t kept up to date with matrix - does it even allow e2ee with group chats using a bridge?

Why would requiring interoperability of messages or video calls prevent an app from implementing a "send money" feature?

Also, if you want to make a "send money" feature, why would it being interoperable preclude you from doing it? Bank transfers are already interoperable, why can't a send money feature be?
