I don't think that is true at all, for several reasons:
matrix.org actually has tons of terrible users itself, and many channels even ban or strongly discourage even having users from that server, plus it's usually the slowest.
a great many channels on matrix.org are unmoderated and already host CSAM and abusive/illegal content
because of how federation works, anyone who is on matrix.org and happens to join a "bad" channel even on another server, now forces matrix.org to always keep a copy of that channel and all of its content forever.
Including Cloudflare, who for some reason banned kiwifarms yet continues to allow sites like 8chan and others who are also hosting CSAM/zoosadist/other vile content.
