The products you mention are all hugely successful, often against the backdrop of existing OSS with similar features (IRC, for example).
Maybe there's some abstract notion of "good UI" that is distinct from "people like to use it". Or maybe people are stupid.

For example infinite scrolling areas jumping around as they load content and the interface having variable and high latency in response to user input. 'Poor reimplementations' could be stuff like copy and paste being bugged out in a text box. In any case you're right, I think there isn't enough study into these things.
