To be clear they're both shit from a privacy perspective.
Telegram has effectively no security by default. WhatsApp has better security on paper with meaningful end to end encryption. But Facebook still get your meta data and they scan images in the chat to check for illegal data.
That said I basically agree with you for insecure conversations. Telegram might have access to more of my data in a chat but they don't connect it up with all of the data Facebook has tracking me across the internet.
Pssst hey kids ... nextcloud.com. You wanna score some privacy?
