The Matrix foundation didn't embrace and extend anything, as they were always in control of the spec.

EEE applies to when corporations (notably Microsoft) embraces projects that aren't theirs and takes them under their wing, expands on functionality which attracts all the users and makes them the sole developer of that functionality, which kills the old, open forks. Microsoft then kills their version of it, and the whole thing dies.
