Telegram isn't a chat app. It's an unlimited free file upload, storage, and sharing service that ignores any DMCA or takedown requests. It masquerades as a chat app, but that's why people flock to it despite the fact that it's not truly private.
And then of course, if people are already there, why not chat on Telegram?
"Go eat at Joe's, 10 million flies can't be wrong"
I'm not personally trying to argue for telegram's use. I'm just pointing out why people end up using it. When convincing people to use Matrix, I find that calling them flies isn't really helpful for my arguments.
I'm pointing out that appealing to popularity is a fallacy. Also, humans can eat at Joe's too. Being a fly is not a prerequisite.
