> XMPP is designed to be grown, to have new capabilities added, to be experimented with.

so is Matrix.

your entire post is based on a wrong assumption...

I don't see any technical evidence of that. matrix is a single unified protocol, maintained by a small core contributor group. matrix has no extensibility mechanisms. not sure how you can make a claim like this.

There's a process, guided by core team members, to contributing to the one specification.

This does not sound like extensibility at all. It's monolithic development. Gated by a core team.
