This happens due to the amount of chemical reactions that take place in the matrix.

Explanation:

Enzimes are the biochemical enhancers used in the organisms' reactions: they can make a chemical reaction much faster. This is necessary to guarantee the proper functioning of our organism.
The mitochondrial matrix is the place where most of the cellular respiration (one of the most important processes for our survival) takes place. The respiration is always going on, and therefore, a great deal of enzymes is needed to enhance it; this explains why the matrix is so enzyme rich.
