IRC is centralised. You can't send message from server X to server Y.

XMPP and Matrix can.

Matrix also isn't too set on chat. It would be quite possible to send email over Matrix. Maybe once Matrix has some kind of solution to spam that would be something to explore. With bridges to SMTP, if you'd like.
