SMTP is federation too. But certain megacorp basically fenced off huge chunk of users.
Yes, that's exactly by point. SMTP is federation, you can setup your own server and have interoperability with others and have 100% of its features working right, so you aren't locked in to those megacorps. Chat applications should use XMPP to get the same for chat/video.
