I dont understand why threat actors / hackers use telegram which obtains your phone number and not simplex or even signal for that matter

Simplex has multiple relays, but given how new it is there are only few and those could easily be compromised similar to how tor nodes are partially operated by government agencies.

Also with p2p stuff there is a higher risk if you don't trust your communication partner, and in crime organizations the likelihood that someone has been turned by law enforcement as part of a plea deal is always quite high.
