I'm excited about this - tried the demo, how do I know the site is not stealing my password? Shouldn't this use OAuth to solve that issue?

Because you don’t login via the site, you have to go through Matrix’ login flow, just like with any client.

This seems like an even better use of a state-synchronization protocol like Matrix than instant messaging, for which I think XMPP is a better fit.

It's not meant to be any one thing.

That's its strength.

Core to many usecases, many eyes, many industries' backing.
