It’s unfortunate that they claimed “Matrix is a protocol not a service” while they are literally running a home server on the Matrix domain.

They should really rebrand their home server to another name, so the Matrix name is unambiguously referring to the protocol.

or just call their flagship client "Matrix" instead of Element. what's Element? it means nothing. it's like saying "item" or "thing".
that would be a bit like w3c.org not running a web server on their domain…?
But no one is claiming w3c is not running a website.
