Not sure why Signal gets all the attention when Matrix is much more successful at spreading open source messaging and is also decentralized.

Of course it does. It just doesn't have E2E encryption by default (you can turn it on with secret chats). If the alternative is messaging on Instagram, Facebook Messenger or WhatzApp, then Telegram is superiour.

listen to yourself, it doesn't have e2e encryption by default?? So the telegram servers can see your chats, that's not acceptable for a chat software.

e2e also doesn't work in groups on telegram the last time I checked, so the chat with a couple of friends is out for grabs by whatever jurisdiction telegram is operating under as well, great.

Signal is like 5 times better than this, so is whatsapp (depends though) and of course matrix or xmpp. Comparing it to instagram messaging is a joke.
