doesn't seem that insightful? XMPP-without-extensions is missing all sorts of essential non-media features like multi-device, history, offline XMPP-with-extensions supports all that.. and also media as well The whole "modern connection are persistent" seems just plainly wrong - it's worse than ever. Back in IRC time even someone without bouncer would have hours of uptime from their PC. Today, I am using my laptop which sleeps many times per day, and cellphone which is only active in short intervals. Neither IRC nor XMPP-without-extensions are suitable for that kind of usecase.
