Because it's irc.debian.org not jabber.debian.org nor yourfavoritechatprotocol.debian.org? Because people actually use IRC to discuss Debian related issues? > Jabber fixes a lot of IRC's shortcomings, without bringing along all > the political drama and baggage OFTC, Freenode, and every other IRC > network in existence.

So why not start up a jabber.debian.net if it doesn't already exist, and see who joins and holds dicsussions there? If you get enough participtation, and there's a reasonable open project to point jabber.debian.org to, I'd imagine it would be an easy case to make.
