Very few people use Telegram because of its security. Literally nobody of my contacts even uses the secret chat feature. They didn’t care when WhatsApp introduced e2e either.

People(IME at least) use Telegram(or WhatsApp) because it’s a nice to use app, both mobile and desktop.

Yes, the best thing about Telegram is that it doesn’t treat the desktop as an afterthought. Its desktop clients are first class true native apps, not be usual hot mess of half baked web/electron things that are offered to desktop users these days.
