Interesting. As far as I can see you can pair Matter devices either through the HA app itself, Apple Home or Google Home, so I don't think it's required. I'll keep that in mind though before I get my first Matter device.

Last time I checked the HA app uses the system tool, which just uses Google Home behind the scenes. Apple Home is probably the only other implementation of the pairing tool.
