> What is a good reason for Element to relegate itself to only 10% of its own market and allow other vendors to pick up the remaining 90%?

In a healthy ecosystem, the primary implementations do not represent most of the clients and servers.

HTTP for example is healthy because there are many http servers, many http clients, they're all pretty compatible and replaceable, and none of them represent the primary implementation with its own off spec quirks that others need to take into account.
