There never was. It was only a sea of different instant messenger protocols, and each had their pros and cons. So much that you had meta messengers, doing multiple protocols. Trillian for example. You had to get multiple accounts and softwares to get everyone.
Protocols were understood well enough that you could build a single app that could communicate across different platform. That's basically not feasible today.
