Fortunately, as I happily tested yesterday, my modern-ish Hue bulbs work with standard zigbee integrations now.
I’m certain Philips will now release a new line that do not.
With Matter integration it would be tricky but I imagine someone on the board of directors is pushing for this.
They may just settle on the fact that 99% of their customers won’t do this. However, HA has really worked hard to lower the bar on this - you can buy an HA Green and a ZigBee dongle, then it’s done quite quickly and easily.
