The tabbed view obfuscates n-1 conversations for n conversations. If you
have Window A at the front, you can still see as much or as little of
Windows B and C as you desire. If you have Tab A active, you can't see Tabs
B and C.

If you only have 2-3 windows open, it's not going to reduce much clutter.
And you can switch to another conversation by clicking on that window,
selecting the conversation from the Window or Dock Menu, double-clicking on
the user in the Buddy List, or cycling through the windows with Cmd-tilde or
Cmd-Left and Cmd-Right.

In order to drag text to the window, you have to select the tab, then drag
to it. You can't just idly watch a conversation going on in the background.
In group chats, you have to pull that window up to see who said something
(I'll often only bring a group chat forward when certain people have said
something).

Even as an option, it's going to add an order of magnitude to the window
management code.
