It's a reasonable concern, but if people aren't willing to make the very modest effort to register a service name with IANA, just filling out a form on their web site, it seems unlikely that they would be willing to do anything other than continus to squat. I'd suggest instead registering names you know about, or enouraging people using them to do so. For "matrix" it looks like the current registration is abaondned, so it might be possible to arrange to replace that with one that is in active use.
