> IRCv3 missed the boat by years

Because people invested/wasted their energy into building proprietary silos instead.

Like Matrix (the one at https://matrix.org)?

The Working Group on IRCv3 started in 2011. Matrix in 2015.

Does it make Matrix "proprietary" or "silo"? Did the IRCv3 WG have any results in 2015?
