I find it strange that, nobody has mentioned MQTT so far in this discussion. Isn't MQTT also a 'competitor' for XMPP, besides JSON-over-Websockets? especially on mobile devices ?

It is not really a competitor for XMPP. It transports messages and you could build a chat service on top of it, so it is in a somewhat related space, but XMPP and MQTT aim at very different things.
