Personally? Because telegram feels dodgier than WhatsApp. At least I can trust WhatsApp enough around security. If I really want to upgrade my privacy or freedom, I would have chosen either Matrix, Signal or Session.
Yeah I get that. It also is dodgier lol. Some of the type of people that use telegram are hella suspicious

Because everyone else uses Whatsapp. I don't like it either but I need it for work so I use it. It is what it is.
