Do you know there’s an XMPP-enabled version of the Fediverse? Here’s an example of one such site:https://mov.im/
Also, you can set up Friendica to work with XMPP. To wit:
Server admins can configure their ejabberd or prosody XMPP/Jabber servers to authenticate against the Friendica user database. If configured this way, every Friendica account is also a XMPP/Jabber account and can be used with any XMPP/Jabber client.

So XMPP is a totally valid protocol you can use with the Fediverse right now. As for why few people do this, I don’t know. Maybe they really do believe that Google “killed” XMPP—which is, in fact, untrue.
