> They probably should implement E2EE for everything

Certainly not because then Telegram would lose alot of its functionality that makes it great. One thing that I really enjoy about Telegram is that I can have it open and synched across many independent devices. Telegram also has e2e as an option on some clients which cant be synched

You can sync messages across many independent devices despite e2ee.

Matrix has been doing that for years

Does Matrix encryption scale? Telegram rooms have a huge number of participants. Also last time I looked into this, Matrix encryption was also an opt in.

In Matrix all PM rooms are E2EE by default.

For public rooms however, it doesn't really make sense to enable E2EE.

Even whatsapp does it now

Does it? Last time I used WhatsApp I could not use it on my desktop without scanning a QR code each time and keeping the phone nearby.
