Absolutely, and an argument can be made about captive ecosystems controlling both clients and servers. They also represent a single point of failure, so there's no magic bullet. In practice it's also not that different than keeping up with your browser's/OS'/phone's updates and XMPP has that for itself that it has (unlike Matrix) a vibrant community of clients and servers supported by diverse parties (commercial and not).
