The delusion that one app can be the only centre of your life continues to litter our phones with 9 chat apps. Not making protocols interoperable allows the app to attempt to build their own walled garden. Interoperability is a very old problem, and it has been reasonably solved a few times (jabber pre Cisco/xmpp/etc) and most recently technologies like matrix/riot are pretty well positioned. While tools like pidgin exist today, software like trillian of old allowed one interface to log into everything.
