Not all use cases of XMPP are federating. We can't exclude non-federating social media based on a reference to the XMPP protocol. Other arguments may apply, but that is a discussion I try to avoid right now because that discussion has very hairy corners. I rather not tackle them when not needed.
There are still enough arguments to leave X and reconsider our dependency on other 'social' media.
