Comparing XMPP to WhatsApp or Signal is not a like-for-like comparison. XMPP is a just protocol. A solution also requires a hosted platform and an app.

Signal and WhatsApp each provide all three: a protocol, a hosted platform and an app.

XMPP is just a protocol. There's no business model in a protocol.
