Thing with Telegram is that end-to-end encryption is not enabled by default (thus only used rarely) and Telegram doesn’t really have any viable business model, besides being funded by a billionaire. That raises some questions. I really like Telegram, though.
What uses do you see out of Telegram and WhatsApp? Both are not meant for the same purposes. One is a realtime blog/forum hybrid, the other is a messenger. Different purposes.
You want E2EE? You have options exceedingly better than WhatsApp, called XMPP and Matrix. Both utilise OMEMO E2EE.

Telegram is better than a lot of things, so what do you want for what is basically a public forum not from Western Big Tech?
Telegram is even worse than WhatsApp and that’s actually painfull to say.
Note: WhatsApp should be obliterated from earth with a flamethrower. (Facebook too & a long list…)
Telegram client is open source, WhatsApp client is not. Telegram has a client for Linux desktop, WhatsApp doesn’t.
I don’t understand the Telegram hate.
