One of the things that would go along way to address this is Open Protocols or Open API's
Go back to the days where you could have 1 client and connect to ICQ, AIM, GChat, etc etc etc all in 1 program
People should not need to have Skype, Teams, Telgram, Discord and Slack all running on their computers at the same time

If we had a time machine, go back and convince the Google and Facebook PMs / mgmt who made the decision to not try to extend / support XMPP, maybe the world would be different today. I wonder if one could quantify how much global warming was caused by those decisions.
