My point is precisely this: With robust end-to-end encryption in place, there's no need to rely on the trustworthiness of the backend. Unfortunately, Telegram lacks this feature, making it untrustworthy.
Even with Telegram's encryption, messages can be compromised through a straightforward SIM swap. This means that their encryption is essentially irrelevant since messages can be read without needing an encryption key from the client.
I recommend checking out Moxie Marlinspike's Twitter thread on this topic for further insight. You can find the link I previously shared in another thread.
