Both facebooks messenger and Google talk had periods where they were xmpp compatible, and if you look at a lot of xmpp clients, they're basically stuck in that exact era.
These big companies are dangerous. One difference is that this time we know they're dangerous. Many of us specifically left their services because we viscerally understand they're dangerous.

I believe it's a direct embrace, extend, extinguish. I think that in order to produce the Google talk product they start off using xmpp, and once it was fully operational and people started using it, they cut off xmpp compatibility including federation.
Incidentally, Google chat sucks compared to previous offerings.
