Matter standardises the communication. Different manufacturers can report values and controls differently for their bulbs. If the bulbs have matter support your “base station”/server can send the same “turn on/off” to the different bulbs without having code specific for that brand/model.
This CAN allow us to skip brand specific bridges and such, or as in the philips hue case. All bulbs are exposed as matter devices through their bridge.
