IRC is too difficult for normal people to figure out. Normals don’t know how to /join, /nick, and all that other stuff. People want a username and password, because that’s a standard thing that everyone knows.
Even Matrix is too complicated for most people.
IRC serves a purpose, but judging by the success of Discord there’s obviously something lacking from IRC.

There’s IRC, XMPP, and nu-messaging with enshittification.
