IRC allows archiving
How so?
You can easily log and archive things that happen on an open protocol, not so much a proprietary one like discord.
Is it possible to have a server/channel bot publicly export channel activity?

Wikimedia and W3C log their chats with bots developed by themselves. I admit though that I am not expert in this topic, but I know that LiberaChat’s policies forbid logging.

Nobody considers IRC to be a substitute for documentation.
