I use Telegram because it is a superior product. Then I don't see the point in encrypted chats with many users, no use case for me. For work, I would use self-hosted solution like Mattermost. Then, if it is true that Signal behave like they know better VC company and block 3rd party clients, etc. Signal is centralized, but I want decentralization, not just from technological point of view. With today predatory imperialistic sanctions issued by US against whole countries, I do not want to place all my eggs in same bucket, controlled by US government and I still remember Snowden revelations.

It sounds like you are still under the impression that Telegram is, or ever was, Russian. It's run on infrastructure from the USA and its allies just like Signal, Wire, etc. What you're looking for might be WeChat (this is definitely the first and hopefully will be the last time I recommend that) On a less sarcastic note, Threema makes a point of running in Switzerland. Not that they're friendly with military powers other than NATO, but (per your desire) it's slightly better than running on US/UK infrastructure directly.
