I also don't want devices I'm actively using to needlessly compete with random logistical packets from a dozens of devices around my house. I also don't want the devices themselves to need all the power of a WiFi connection when another protocol suited to low power home automation devices is sufficient.

ZigBee/zwave were fine for me, though. I personally haven't seen a clear benefit to matter+thread yet.
