Not everything has to run on top of HTTP or use json.
IRCv3 gets a lot more right than wrong.

It's even pretty useless on laptops or desktops that aren't always running.
That's not true. I used HoloIRC client on Android with no problem.

There is no need to. If it's about talks history, chats are not right tool then, forums are more convenient.
Chats are suitable for casual or urgent instant discussions. In all other cases forums are better because user doesn't have to present during discussion, he can return and comment any time he want.
This sounds like a fox and the grapes situation. You can't see history on IRC so rather than noting the deficiency, you list it as a feature.
As a modern IM user, I am part of many low volume groups and the history is essential as there will usually only be 5 or so messages in the day which I would have just missed if I had used IRC. I agree that history on a fast pace 100 member chat is not so useful but not having it isn't a benefit either.
And these days even most SMBs are taking network security seriously and blocking non HTTP ports.
I see no reason whatsoever to make HTTP a core requirement.
Because there wasn't enough focus on end user experience.
The kind of SNR that causes an attempted takeover? As IRC has depopulated it's been increasingly inhabited by a particular type of person and has a particular culture. That's fine, but ascribing some technical superiority to it because of your cultural preferences doesn't make sense. IRC attracts a certain type of user who persists despite its UX; it's not technologically superior. The rest of us who aren't in that culture go elsewhere, to a network that fulfills our needs. Like Matrix (or even XMPP for some).
If you mean anime subbers, 4channers, and the warez/pirate crowd , they've all moved to Discord or Telegram. The only ones left are the technically inclined folk who adopted the platform at its genesis (i.e. #c, #perl, etc.)
Say what you will about culture but this is a fact and I don't see it changing. Slack and Teams are gimmicks at best. Matrix unusable for me, every single one of my peers and, apparently, the vast majority of said technical communities that keep their center of operations firmly entrenched in IRC.

Never once used IRC. Discord, Slack, Gitter but never IRC.
And love the idea of Slack being a gimmick.
about the only highlight is ease of creating bots for monitoring and automation.
Listen on port 443; problem solved until they switch to server allow lists.
