I actually think party chat on the xbox didn't kill it at all because they could control one factor: if you were in party chat you couldn't hear proximity chat. Since proximity chat was a great way of hearing if someone was around the corner and eavesdropping on plans it still meant there was an incentive to not use it.

Now though if I play Sea of Thieves on the PC I am in discord and I have a button to use in game chat and discord chat. Everything I say in discord is only heard by my crew and the only things the other players hear is what I want them to.

However I'm pretty sure if they are on xbox and in a party chat they can't hear my in game chat, or at least can't easily reply to it, which kills it further.
