There is a part of technical stuff though. If you have a very resource consuming technology, it’s obvious that less people are going to install it, which is the case of Matrix.
Also, “social issues” can be managed, for instance, the main Framasoft closed the registrations of the main Mastodon instance because they thought the network was becoming too centralized on their instance.

Nobody in the real world cares about resources. I do, but that’s not the reason for people not adopting Matrix. It’s rather silly reasons like “it doesn’t have sticker packs!” or “I don’t understand where I need to create an account and why”.

I mean, people with low-end servers aren’t going to install a matrix server. So it’s limiting the decentralization of Matrix.
You don’t need to install a matrix server to use it.
That means you will be more dependent on Matrix.org server, unlike in Mastodon, where there are many different instances.
