The point is that with XMPP at least, they could add those features. They presented their case as if it couldn't be done with XMPP, which is not true.

Probably the subtext here is that they didn't feel it was worth the effort of doing double work for all their new features.

What difference would it make to anyone if they added "...and yeah, we could fix it, but we don't see it as worthwhile" to the end of the post?

Without the additional text it reads like it's the fault of XMPP/IRC.
