So your standard for “reasonably secure” communications is Facebook Messenger?

No. You're using the same "if it's not perfect it's worthless" argumentation as GP.
It's not perfect, nothing is. But it makes better compromises than others.
With significantly worse UX.

This doesn't make it not reasonably secure in my mind. While the TG people will be able to access your messages, they can also process them, making stuff like large groups even possible (imagine the distribution hell otherwise).
I do tend to think that there's not much of a down side to E2E for private chats though, since you can still share private keys between devices to enable sync.

Telegram is way more than secret chats.
