By using XMPP you were explicitly not choosing Google Talk or Facebook Messenger. How is this any different?

Because the majority of XMPP users were Google Talk and Facebook Messenger users. Fediverse users are explicitly using the Fediverse.

XMPP users said the same about XMPP. And it was true, to a certain extent. The federated XMPP network is alive to this day, I'm in a few chat rooms and have a few contacts there.

Aren’t you agreeing with me here? Thats my point effectively nothing changes if Facebook drops ActivityPub.
