When I've recently seen people say something like "X killed #XMPP", it seems as if they were not talking about the protocol itself (which, as your screenshot from the XMPP Standards Foundation website shows, is quite thriving).

What they mean is that it they drained users from the federated network into their walled gardens and then closed off federation themselves (gtalk did that, whatsapp never federated in the first place afaik).

It is important to remember that those corporations only do things which are profitable. Opening federation is not profitable on its own.
