A company eyeing going public will not be putting user privacy at the forefront of their features to file. Also, the very nature of Telegram's design and infrastructure is less secure than other alternatives, so why even bother with it if you care about privacy? If it's because "it's easy", then acknowledge the downsides, and move on, but they'll never be able to operate with PFS as it exists now.
Exactly.
Public makes things worse, not better, because now they're beholden to stock valuations.
