Recently I spent an entire evening trying to get Gajim and ChatSecure work together with OMEMO and delivery of messages to multiple devices. I'm a technical person, but I failed, I got into all kinds of weird error modes, but ultimately no success. What a frustrating evening that was, a waste of time. I have stopped to recommend Jabber/XMPP to people. Too many times I did that over the past 15 years and even when I succeeded in making them curious to try out... in the end there were too many problems and things didn't work right, and ultimately I too often looked like an idiot for recommending what is to other people just a broken tool. In the end, people don't care about "it's the choice that gives you freedom". People use the things that just work. And honestly, I can't even blame them (even if I'm personally not willing to give in to the privacy compromises that come with the other tools).
