Telegram is just actually superior in terms of features I don't get it.

Because one is an app and the others are a technology standard. I can install Signal on my phone and use it to talk to people securely.

Where do I go to get XMPP or Matrix? Can I trust app makers to have correctly implemented the protocols? When it comes to security I tend to trust larger entities versus the garage startup.

While that's a fair point, element.io is the defacto matrix implementation and effectively the group that started matrix.
