This exact discussion was already exhausted the previous time Threads was announced. I'm going to repeat now what I was saying three months ago: XMPP is fine now, as it was before Google Talk was a thing. It was a niche protocol for niche people, it remained a niche protocol for niche people. Assuming that it expired just because Google Talk ceased to exist is just a fallacy.
