I also use Telegram because one of my friends was really stubborn. Like many here, I think it's a great service/client but probably has some security issues (although they are largely trade-offs). However, I don't agree that my example backs your view: there's no way I could get my other friends and family to switch en-masse. I still only use it pretty much with that one friend and a small group around him. And all the others say the same: they hate on the guy for being a pain despite liking the app.
