Indeed, https://quicksy.im/ follows this approach, it's as trivial as it can be.
My focus with Snikket is on making it as easy as possible for people to run their own server (hosted or self-hosted), and to avoid a repeat of the Google situation where 99% of the network was controlled by a single (volatile when it comes to messaging apps) entity.
Snikket may not be for everyone, but that's kind of the point of XMPP. Snikket users can text and call Quicksy users with E2EE, and vice-versa, despite using two different systems.
