Telegram is really a worst of all worlds kind of messaging app. Plenty of good people use it, but plenty of lousy people use it too, and it's the ambivalence towards the latter that's the issue
And you're right, the app servers wouldn't be that hard to backdoor because of the lack of (end to end) encryption

because, at least according to that article, Telegram can act against people that hold CSAM, but they refuse to. Versus something like Signal, a platform where it knows nothing about its users by design.

iMessage does encrypt messages end to end, and so does Signal (an app Telegram tried to smear a few months back) so I don't trust Telegram much at all in this department

from what I know, the telegram company has user data totally visible to them, but selectively choose whether to act on stuff. And if they're holding onto CSAM, that's... Well, that's basically a choice they made. There are tools, including simple and free ones, to scan for known instances of it.
