This is spot on. Discord and Matrix are, IMO, quite different. Matrix is more like Slack or Teams. You can do voice and video calls, if you configure it to do so, but it isn't like Discord in that regard at all. If you don't use Discord for that and mostly just chat with your friends then sure, but you have a lot of choices in that case.
