My understanding is that they're both difficult problems to tackle without

The problems get two orders of magnitude harder if you can not trust
your local users.
available old-school IBR means that - I'll quote something Philip Hancke
told me this morning - '"public server" means "open relay" most of the
time.'
Going further, I think that public servers are an obsolete concept.
In the early days of Jabber, when was really hard to install an XMPP
server they had their place. And they were usually run by developers
gathering operational experience.
These days, when people need an xmpp account and don't want to run their
own server they go to google (google hosts ~18% of xmpp domains, I would
bet that their market share is more than 35% when looking at the number
of (non-enterprise im) accounts).
