I don't know if this is because servers or clients (or both?) do not
implement this part of XEP-0077 but I personally never saw any
client
where I could change my password with XEP-0077 (only with ad-hoc
command that several servers implement).
And even if some did, all the reasons are the one I listed, mainly
for security.
Openfire, M-Link,ejabberd, and probably others, just from memory.
Psi, Gajim, and again probably others support it on clients.
So XEP-0077 for password changing is well supported, and indeed state
of the art. I agree it could be done better, more securely, and more
flexibly, but as I say elsewhere this needs a foundation which the
XSF is not qualified to provide.
