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.
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.
