As a kind of a weird bonus, activating end-to-end encryption in Telegram is oddly difficult for non-expert users to actually do.

No, it's not. It's very easy. In the bottom right corner there is a pencil button to compose a new message and right there it asks which tpye of chat to start. Secret chat is the second topmost option after group chat. Really not hidden or complicated at all.

My man, have you ever worked in tech support? I admire your optimism.

That's my day job and I'm good at it. People understand when I explain three clicks.

Fair enough. I've met both good and bad users.
