nothing confusing nor surprising here, Matter is a protocol, while Zigbee is the interface. It's more on practicality i.e. some would prefer not to use WiFi-based IoT due to security concern. It took more than a decade, true, but that's because we just found a meaningful usecase for it. Same goes to Bluetooth where it starts to become active after the implementation of BLE
More than ten years after announcing Zigbee 3.0, the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) recently introduced Zigbee 4.0 and the sub-GHz brand Suzi. The new standard promises significantly longer range and enhanced security, but the announcement also leaves some questions unanswered.
