There's no alternative, superior standard or protocol that I know of which killed and replaced it. All these companies just locked things down to their own proprietary solutions. nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqh7sjqxxgl6ar4ljpd77xt2qf49xzhfn9a2m837t5htwnmethx3jsu87fyk nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqufmlneg8tt9jwvk6p40t02lxhmkns6zlpu4cwrvxerczdnn4syzqrf359z nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqqh097tfm3kv0nwffd9ggptn255d3fuqdcy3wauw5p4gz5z45s92qysh6f2

Facebook had their XMPP federating. Google had XMPP federating. Even fucking Livejournal had a federating XMPP messaging integrated right into their whiny blogging shit.
Today, XMPP is a relic used only by a bunch of stubborn nerds. Just like IRC is.
Yes, I know that certain companies like Grindr use XMPP internally, but they might be using just about anything else since they don't federate.

From Matrix to Facebook Messenger and Telegram.
There are three massive issues:
1. Servers implement incompatible sets of XEPs and often fail to federate some stuff;
2. Clients are shit (especially when it comes to OMEME'o);
3. Lack of expected features like normal filesharing.
Every now and then I encounter a thread on fedi where someone whines that certain combinations of clients cannot talk to each other with OMEMO and this is funny as hell.
