Telegram is just actually superior in terms of features I don't get it.

Riddle me this - Some people's argument against using telegram is that it is not as secure as WhatsApp(which on face value is true because WhatsApp is E2E encrypted while telegram is not E2E encrypted). Other people claim that only hackers and terrorists use telegram and that is why they don't use telegram. My question is why are people like hackers and terrorists using telegram in the first place if it has worse security while having no upsides for these kinds of individuals.

Telegram is not E2E encrypted per default, I think it offers the feature if you start secret chat ?

Thank you. Forget to type that out when I was writing the comment.
