As someone who uses XMPP nearly daily for actual chat purposes: The value sources seem all over the place.
The XMPP column counts Google and Apple totals to reach 2 billion users, but that's just push notification use (and might not even be current information), not chat use. One could point at the 1 billion total from the XMPP instant messaging page that is also linked, but that is based entirely on Zoom and Whatsapp, neither of which interoperate. The one source further down detailing a large interoperable server has the population of that server approaching 900k accounts, and an order of magnitude active users.
Later, XMPP is dinged for having poor iOS support and poor video support, but Whatsapp and Zoom are on iOS. Do they count or not?
My present theory is the page is oriented towards getting people to put money towards supporting XMPP, rather than being purely pro-XMPP.
