Could be argued that Lemmy does too. I realise the use case is different but the risk feels similar. You can sign up with a anonymous username, your phone number isn’t exposed and some Matrix instances don’t even require an email (and if they do you can use an anonymising service). Its not great, I agree, but its also not that bad either.
My issue with Element X (and the reason I’m still using Element) is that X doesn’t (yet) support Spaces. Again, not a huge issue, but annoying enough to stop me switching.
Lemmy isn’t trying to be the paragon of security, but a totally open discussion thingy lol. It’s like saying there is lower security in public speeches.
Which is why I said I was aware the use case is different. I’m also not sure Element is trying to be a paragon of security. As I understand it, their focus is on privacy.

SchildiChat Next, which is based on Element X, has implemented spaces.
