I share the sentiment of the comments that XMPP is still a thing, and pretty much used. I'm using it right now. It is true that is no longer as widespread as it used to, and it is a bit dauntier to use in contrast of current "install an app, get an account (linked to phone or whatever), go". Gotta pick a server and stuff.
The point is, we can still aim to return to XMPP, or at least turn to it when talking about secure, not enterprise, federated, message communications. At least instead of going to the next walled garden, maybe not linked to CIA next time or whatever.
I absolutely hate the fact that every chat app now has a proprietary protocol and you have to install a bunch of apps to talk to different people. It's such a travesty.
