I mean, why not?

It is unlikely courts will impose support, fiduciary or other requirements on Telegram, ex post facto, in respect of these tokens. Telegram could cash out the proceeds to pay a massive dividend and then call it a day (i.e. pay salaries, dabble, and take lots of vacation days). It might be contested. But on what grounds?

I think Durov is an honest actor. But what says Durov calls the shots a year, or five years, or ten years from now? In any case, if you have to trust Durov to be nice, what is the point of a decentralized architecture?

Durov has made claims about Whatapps in the past that was not very honest if I remember correctly
