I feel like the ship has sailed on this when Canoncial decided to write
a seperate app for Telegram.

You could have a single unified messaging app for telegram, sms, texsecure and more if you wanted to. This is possible. Remember that Maemo even had a skype plugin for telepathy (and it was awesome!).
This would be such a killer feature and you could actually make an argument for people to use ubuntu on their phones because of this.

But it doesn't seem to happen.

Title:
  Support for XMPP

Bug description:
  Hi All,

  basically there are three things that block me to move to Ubuntu
  Touch. A missing spotify app (already in developement :) ), a missing
  mail app (planned for 14.04 :)  ) and finally a missing IM app --
  especially for XMPP.

  Thusly, I propose adding support for XMPP to the messaging-app. It
  already uses telepathy so we should be able to add this functionality.
  I would also be willing to work on this if somebody points me out
  where to start.

  I guess we would have to break this down into several work packages:
  setting up accounts, online/offline handling of friends, choosing
  protocols when composing a message etc. But first I would like to get
  some feedback if you would be okay with such a feature. Maybe it is
  already planned?
