Signal does it just fine - I can only assume that Google is distracted or just doesn't care.

Google talk/hangouts chat still works and does this. Although you are also correct in that case as Google is distracted and doesn't care about Google talk.

And of course fragmentation-- Even if Talk, Signal, Whatsapp and Telegram all support discovery and upgrade, the network effects (or lack of them) kills it in practice.

Probably that they consider it wouldn't generate revenue.
