> Why does open protocol usually mean crippled U/X?

Open is entirely unrelated to that, but optional features means crippled UI/UX in the long run. Some server won't support it so users can't use it, or some client won't support it so they will see garbage/nothing when others use that feature.

XMMP showed that well enough and it seems IRCv3 follows suit.
