Let's be honest: if you want privacy, you use Signal. If you want the nice UX (at the cost of lower privacy guarantees), you use Telegram.
The problem is only when people fail to understand that the only private chats in Telegram are the ones that remove all the UX benefits, and instead believe that their "normal chats" and groups are private.
