Fair enough. (Although all the XMPP clients that I used supported multiple accounts, so it made little difference from where I was standing.)
In any case, it contributed significantly to XMPP's reach and utility, and it's gone now.

Ultimately they just briefly used XMPP to not have to implement their own desktop client for their closed proprietary network. It had nothing to do with network reach, unlike Google Talk which did actually bring XMPP to the masses for a while (and then took it away).
