Fair point, but from my perspective, even if it was absolutely the best end-to-end encryption there is, it wouldn't mean much unless everyone's using Telegram for 1-to-1 communication using Secret Chats feature.

This line alone makes their encryption rather meaningless for this use case, since Secret Chats only work between two people.
