Can you say why you think this is the case? Matz has very much made performance a focus: they've continued to improve the Ruby VM and added JIT, for example. Likewise, many of the non-performance related improvements in recent Ruby version have immediately been useful to me as a Rubyist. I'm not sure what meaningless features you refer to, but I'd be interested in seeing them enumerated.
