Two reasons.
First, Telegram messages are only "transport-encrypted", meaning that the messages are safe while in transport from you to Telegram and from Telegram to the recipient of your message. Very importantly, these messages are not encrypted while Telegram has them! Even WhatsApp has better and more encryption than that (Called End-to-End encryption, only sender and recipient can read a message).
Therefore, you have to trust Telegram not to look at your messages (they certainly do) while other services simply can't.
Second, at least here in Germany Telegram has become the main platform for conspiracy nuts and antidemocratic organizations. Someone who is "very active" on Telegram is most certainly an idiot.
Bet the majority of them drive cars as well.
