I'd be closer to agreeing with you if XMPP didn't completely invalidate your point. They did it there and they'll do it here.

XMPP works great, you just have to use it. It doesn't invalidate anything.

Theres a reason nobody uses it anymore. Google extended the crap out of it, effectively took over the protocol and then retired it. It bears the same echoes of what's happening here.

This didn't happen. In fact Google was the one who fell behind development when the protocol moved on and deprecated unencrypted connections for example. People just don't make it a priority to use XMPP instead of the walled gardens they are using now.
