This Week in Matrix includes an announcement that I find interesting:

The Homeserver Decentralization Community Group aims to promote decentralization of the Matrix network by fostering a smoother onboarding experience (to homeservers and clients) on homeservers other than matrix.org, and might propose additional measures in the ecosystem as a whole. It is not an official Matrix Foundation Working Group, but aims to become one.

See the link for more details.

Yeah afaik running the matrix.org homeserver is their biggest cost. Good to see them confronting it like this but i will wait until they get results to be happy. They already implemented a premium plan on matrix.org that gives normal users upload limits and stuff, but thats not really a solution long term and more of an attempt at discouraging users from using matrix.org so it also helps spread users out more hopefully.
