There's an xkcd for everything, isn't there.

Its not wrong, but the major attraction to Matter is it must allow devices to operate locally (not tying them to cloud services that die every internet outrage, or permanently when the service retires), and it's an application-layer protocol. Meaning it can operate over WiFi, Ethernet, or Thread.

Many existing smart home hubs have been able to program support for Matter and simply send out an OTA update to add certified Matter support.
