I was on the beta testing team and have been using Beeper for a little over two years now.

    To be fair, the client they provide to make bridging more accessible is proprietary, however you can fire up a fresh copy of element and connect it if you want and just use the text interface.

    The clients are closed so that they have something to sell and profit. Not everyone can afford to give their time away for free.

      you kind of omitted the part where you have to host your own Matrix server in order to benefit from the bridges.
