The article is about WhatsApp, iMessage, Facebook Messenger, etc. group chats. What you said is inapplicable to all of those.

1. Those have all started as individual one-on-one chats. So, their roots show

2. There are many more “group chats” for the midern era. Ignoring them isn’t wise.

3. Even among those listed you have channel discovery, for example, in Facebook Messenger.

And no, a discussion on modern chats does not end with “IRC was better end of story”. It wasn’t.
