Telegram does invest heavily on their UI. It's been hard for me to convince people to move to it, regardless.
I imagine I'd have an even harder time moving people to Signal. While their encryption is better, I've seen complaints of messages not being sent and the sender not being aware until days/weeks later after personal follow up on the receiver. Even if this didn't deter me from using it, I have little to no contacts using it. And for the ones that do have it I have no way of knowing if they uninstalled and I'm sending a message to a black void.
If Signal had the reliability, UI polish, consistent updates, and feature-rich experience of Telegram I'd be putting more effort to convert users toward it rather than the latter. I'm a fan of both apps and companies running them nonetheless and am using Signal as my primary SMS app as it's a step to detach from Google.
