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

WhatsApp made a E2EE messenger app (based on XMPP like everything else) the fastest that was reliable, way before Facebook bought it around 2014. Even with FB's acquisition, things largely remained unchanged and the Stories addition was incredibly well received. It is not as intrusive and addictive as Telegram, nor as dramatic as Facebook, and is more secure than Telegram, Hike, Viber, and its numerous competitors over the years (while being almost similarly less private).
