I’m also of the opinion that Element wanted to do too many things. Prime example being the many sdks they now have to maintain for a long time, even though they want to focus on matrix-rust-sdk.
I believe many of these seemingly useless side projects are a result of Element looking for funding. Third room was at the same time as meta was openly talking about metaverse, so Element saw a new niche to fill early.
But yeah, my pessimistic opinion is that matrix.org tries to do too much with the limited resources. Now with sliding sync I do think that they address the long standing ux issues.
