Edit: Maybe I shouldn't be doxing myself.

I don't know what matter wants to be either.

It wants to be a giant stack.

I get real Bluetooth SIG vibes from the development group.

A singleton application stack that is. A bit too much and not enough at the same time.
It's based on Thread which is solid tech.

Bluetooth is a scourge and I wish I could Thanos-snap the entire technology out of existence, something better would have assuredly come along.

Matter isn’t based on thread. They’re often used together but they’re distinct parts of the stack.

Matter can be used over wifi for example without any thread at all.
