Why does Lemmy promote Matrix but not XMPP?

I mean both of those protocols serve similiar purpose, both are federated and both considered secure. So why can't I have an XMPP address in my profile instead of Matrix? Or are there any reasons why Matrix "works" better with lemmy?

There is an issue for it here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1693

It's great to see that there are other people who are also concerned with this. Thank you! I thumbed up both of your issues. I hope devs will get to them some day

It doesn't only promote "Matrix", but rather the commercial service on element.io. See my issue/enhancement request here.

Because they're much better at "communication"?
