From the start ,the purpose of the email was to be a simple standard that could be understood by anyone and everyone… The openness was the goal

Private chats of websites are created in house closed from other sites deliberately, to keep you on the site for longer….
Putting aside the implementation differences, there is no reason for them to be enclosed it is arbitrary

There is a protocol which was made to be an open chat form, “Internet Relay Chat” or IRC but it “went out of fashion” for the common folk with the advent of social media
