I'm not personally trying to argue for telegram's use. I'm just pointing out why people end up using it. When convincing people to use Matrix, I find that calling them flies isn't really helpful for my arguments.

I'm pointing out that appealing to popularity is a fallacy. Also, humans can eat at Joe's too. Being a fly is not a prerequisite.
