Hello. I am looking for an alternative to Telegram and I prefer an application that uses decentralised servers. My question is: why is the xmpp+omemo protocol not recommended on websites when it is open source and decentralised? The privacyguides.org website does not list xmpp+omemo as a recommended messaging service. Nor does this website include it in its comparison of private messaging services.

Why do you think xmpp and its messaging clients such as Conversations, Movim, Gajim, etc. do not appear in these guides?
And no mention of threema even though it fulfills all their listed criteria

Interesting discussion, the opinions go both ways but the official ones seem to disregard some facts and base the decision on some arbitrary ones that were not listed in OPs linked article, which I find quite biased or at least untransparent.
the hell is threema
You could have guessed from the context that it is another privacy focused messenger app
