You can bridge your Discord channel(s) to Matrix rooms, so it's basically win-win unless you rely on some proprietary custom verification system (e.g. Reactiflux's complex system), although with a little work you can re-create said verification on the Matrix side.
EDIT: I apologise if the tone of my original comment came off as snarky, by the way. It's just so annoying and tiring seeing open-source projects require people be on some downright unethical[1] proprietary chat platform.

You can usually get some use out of Discord by just clicking an invitation link, but for Matrix it looks like I have to create an account with some shady unknown social networking entity
I'd guess its lowering the barrier of entry by providing a "casual" platform for communication. Discord is widespread enough for many people to already have an account. Joining new servers is dead simple.
Also, collaborator retention could be another thing. I'd argue it is easier to keep less active contributors hang along when you have this sort of "community" where people do other, unrelated stuff (post memes and discuss unrelated topics) alongside the actual work on the project.
