Matrix itself is a protocol (like email), defined as an open standard

Please, for the love of every person on the planet, replace email with matrix. It's about time we got rid of that damn protocol and matrix seems like the best candidate for it.

It would be great if websites started adding a "sign up with your matrix ID" option and send confirmation messages over it. In fact, what's holding them back? Matrix has automation, doesn't it? And websites don't need to host their own matrix server. They can have a bot client run in the background. Besides integration with popular web frameworks, that's all that's missing, isn't it?
