When telegram team is mainly focusing on UX instead of privacy and security, it is not wierd for me. They don't have to bother about encryption, about matrix protocol which federates all the self-hosted servers, about self-hosting in itself etc. I'm pretty sure element's UX is a side-quest compared to all those other things under the curtain. Summing it up, Element X is in fact a huge upgrade, making it closer in UX to other mainstream apps like those i mentioned above, not Telegram, because it is not even a messenger, its just a social media app that immitates "private and secure" messenger, but in reality it is just twitter DM.
