Anyway, I just cannot understand why the fact that Google dropped support for XMPP could hurt it that much. I’m not possitioning myself, I just cannot understand. That’s all.

Same reason iMessage dominates iPhones. Prioperiatery lock in as a vendor makes transitioning regular people very hard. After years of everyone on Android/Gmail being able to talk with people that used XMPP were sudently cut off.
