Have you ever read up on what it takes to maintain a matte finished car? You can't wash them. They have to be steam cleaned. Can't wax or polish them like normal either if the paint gets scratched. Can't do a clear coat with a matte finish either so those scratches will be much more plentiful & obvious to the eye.

So, as shown with the Veloster Turbo, matte paint can definitely be used on a mainstream production car. Just will have to wait and see how well the Hyundai paint holds up after a few years.
