With new possibilities due to new tech user demands rise, too. People asked for features like group or video chats or coupled devices (not trivial with E2EE) and since good companies listen, they developed those and still do.

Also, I don't think there's a single IRC client still in use that hasn't been updated since the 80s. I wouldn't be surprised if your favorite client got an update in the last couple of months - and that despite it being a trivial protocol.
