Eh, matter is the xkcd#927 of "that protocol".

UDMI/DTDL/Watson/matter/ZigBee all try to do "universal device management over a single API", matter is just the latest incarnation.

Matter is already 20gb and suffering from API sprawl before it's even released. I don't think it has much of a future as "that protocol" beyond whatever corporate life support its on.
