Wasn't uMatrix dropped because at this point it's just a more powerful UI to do the same things uBlock Origin lets you do?

Yes, and that's exactly why other people including myself still use it.
It is objectively not a more powerful UI if you want to allow/disallow different categories of "network request." For example, allow CSS and HTML, but block scripts and XHR. If you want to to do that, you have to write the rules manually. Basically, there's no UI, not a more powerful one.
That was my understanding.
