As long as the recommended alternative, WhatsApp, does the same I don't think this can be used against Telegram.
Also by default Telegram sends confirmation messages to previously verified clients instead of by sms.
Just because others are also vulnerable to the same failings doesn't absolve Telegram of responsibility. Don't claim to be a secure platform if your security is easily circumvented.
