>The Matrix network its self is still, as far as I know, still primarily exists within the official homeserver, which has the most users by far.
It is true that there are many users on the matrix.org homeserver, however I recall a claim from user?id=Arathorn (lead dev) that less than 30% of users actually use that homeserver, so I am skeptical that such a thing would have as heavy an impact as you feel it may. Regardless, as the developers of the Matrix protocol and most popular implementations, they sure do have a lot of power to steer how users will interact with it all in the future.
