Matter makes sense on paper but it's not really doing anything more than a standardized interface for MQTT traffic could do and damn Google has a way of fucking up simple stuff. Take a look at their repo for matter. Monolith of submodules and a goofy recursive project structure that requires multiple python virtual environments and external tools to build -- to the point where they have another repo just to distribute binaries of the build tools last known to work.
It's completely unnecessary and impossible to integrate cleanly into any existing system.
