Google recognizes this, which is why they chose XMPP for Google Talk's protocol to begin with.
But this does not the only reason for smtp/pop to win. Google was late with IM so they simply could not afford to introduce a new proprietary thing into the market.
Google didn't introduce XMPP, it's been around for about 10 years now.
To stay in touch with 2 kinds of friends (assuming all friends are the same besides their im-access), you have only the choice of either install 2 clients or 1 client that speaks both languages.
Or 1 client with 1 language that everybody's going to be using in a few years anyway.
Do you think all of them will cease to exist only because one of them is declared as public standard?
If it's an open standard (what the hell is a public standard?), then yes, it will automatically win because it doesn't cost royalties and there isn't any risk of infringing on someone else's work. It's open: You're invited to implement it.
Clients (notebooks and PCs) are coming with 6/7/8-in one-card readers. That is the multi-protocol-IM-client!
Hardware interface != software protocol. One you can patent in most countries, the other you can't in most countries.
