Development of core Matrix is somewhat secured via funding from Element and donations, but Element is not yet profitable/sustainable as a company. Until it is, I wouldn’t be doing my job if i didn’t encourage folks to support core Matrix dev by using Element services. That said, folks should absolutely donate to non-core-team Matrix projects like Conduit or Nheko or Dimension etc too, to support the hetrogenity of the ecosystem and keep it healthy and balanced. And once Element is sustainable (and by extension the Matrix.org Foundation funding is stable), the balance should shift even further towards ensuring the rest of the ecosystem is successful.
