I don’t understand why Telegram still doesn’t have E2E (“secret chats”) on the desktop. That’s such a pain for longer and hotter conversations when one needs to type a lot.
Not that I agree with it, of course. I think it's a good reason to stop using Telegram. But I'm pretty sure that's the internal reason. Unless the reason is "because then everyone would actually use it and we can't read 99% of chats anymore", but that's a little conspiratorial. Not entirely implausible, given the non-existent profit model, but still.
