Whatsapp is actually inferior to Telegram in terms of user experience. Telegram's client apps are open source, and it has a decent desktop app for Linux.

Agree with this. However, the main reason why WhatsApp is so popular is the user base. It's so hard to convince people and businesses to use another platform especially if your whole country is using WhatsApp.
