IMO telegram has the best feature and usability parity as Whatsapp..

As for converting people who are not that interested, I can tell you from experience talking about privacy generally doesn't sell it.

It bears repeating: Telegram is not e2e encrypted. Messages you write on telegram will be stored on some Russian servers forever.

What are you talking about ? Telegram encryption is based on 2048-bit RSA encryption, 256-bit symmetric AES encryption, and Diffie–Hellman secure key exchange

For end2end you can just use the secret chat function.. https://core.telegram.org/api/end-to-end

Feel free to check their source out - https://telegram.org/apps#source-code

So I'm not sure what 'bears repeating'.

The "secret chat" function should be default. Why isn't it? Also, it's not available at all for group chats.

People still use facebook/instagram/gmail. If you tell them whatsapp is linked to facebook, it changes nothing to them...
