Considering that was the conclusion that machines made two centuries later (Morpheus mentioning to Neo shortly after retrieving him that they were closer to 2199) does not bode well.

Yes, the Wachowski sisters originally scripted humans being used for neural networking, which was both much more realistic and incredibly ahead of its time. Executives told them that the audience would not understand it, and pushed the battery idea.
But… the whole idea is that the world we’re living in now is the Matrix. Agent Smith and the Architect both described previous iterations of the Matrix where it was designed to be a perfect world where everyone was happy. Humans rejected it, and they found less rejection when they made humans miserable.
A couple years ago when I was preparing for a possible future exodus from Discord, I tried to self-host a Revolt instance, but I found that it was lacking in some important features, and there was some internal drama going on about licensing. I don’t know the specifics, but it felt messy at the time and I ended up just hosting a Matrix instance instead. I haven’t seen what it’s like these days.
It doesn’t look like you can draw in your notes, but this looks good! I think I might give it a try.
I really want a FOSS solution for my notetaking, but I feel like I want too much. I love how well OneNote works with my Surface in terms of drawing notes, but I also love writing notes in Markdown and graph structure. I’ve at least been trying out Dendron for the latter, and it’s been alright.
