Social media app Telegram is profitable for the first time after paying down “a meaningful share” of some $2 billion in debt, Chief Executive Officer Pavel Durov said in a post on X Monday.
That’s actually a perk. Means the decryption key is not uploaded to telegram servers.
And, yes. The encryption all of the normies learnt to use for buying illegal goods while the prices were posted in wide open group chats. At least that’s how it was working in latin america with drugs.

You could make encryption work between multiple ends without the server having to share the keys if each device has its own key - like in Matrix, XMPP, etc. And given that Telegram can’t do that, the restriction in question is still very arbitrary - in a one-to-one conversation, they just don’t allow you to make your end the desktop and not the phone.
Also yes, here selling drugs over Telegram is a very big thing too and given how hard it is to use Telegram anonymously and safely - it is indeed monumentally stupid.
