Because Signal is virtually unknown here. Telegram has a small, but growing following. I'm aware that Telegram uses homegrown encryption which is not ideal.

Telegram doesn't use any encryption for groups. It uses encryption only in 1:1 chats when you specifically request it.

The transfer to the server is certainly encrypted. You are referring to end-to-end encryption, I assume.

Correct, I'm referring to e2e. My personal trust model is not to trust the server.
