Given that Discord and Telegram are the go-to chat clients for a huge number of people, I suspect shiny new features are important to them. Even if they don't technically end up using them or really need them, it clearly helps get people using the platform. I use Telegram because of the stickers and generally great UI experience on both mobile and desktop. Even though I know Signal or Matrix are a better choice from a privacy/security standpoint.
