I am young, so imagine how I view these. 
I have no damn clue what's AIM and YIM, I have only heard of MSN once, and that it was somewhat the standard of communication a couple of decades ago. The reason those fields exist, I suspect, is that we're running an SMF version of 2006-09; lots have happened since. At that time, people actually used MSN, Skype wasn't owned by Microsoft, AOL was one very popular website with lots of traffic, and ICQ & Yahoo Messenger weren't shut down yet.
So yes, it's really pointless to have those fields. Nostr is the social media Bitcoin plebs use nowadays.

There are other pressing requests, and these should be the least of our worries right now; how many old profiles do you see that have used any of those social options? I bet you can not see anyone; the community did not care about it before, and it does not seem like they do now. Put all of the new social networks here, and the only thing people would use is Telegram.
Perhaps we will see all of the new social media tags on the new forum.
