In this case, wouldn't it be great if the big dogs picked up the tech and ran with it?

The same way Google and Facebook picked up XMPP and ran with it?

From my perspective that was a good thing. I still use Pidgin as my google hangouts client.

It was a good thing until they ruined it after increasing their strangle on the userbase. It would be sad to see the existing big guys get involved in Matrix to make it popular, only to corrupt it and close it off once it's served its purpose.
