The secret chats are almost useless. Even setting aside the impossibility of syncing between devices the support is severely lacking: Telegram web? No[1], telegram desktop? Nope[2], telegram-cli? Yes, but the client is completely broken and abandoned[3]. The telegram desktop main developer said[4]: "Well, I'm afraid there isn't. They are just not in high priority, many other important things first." It seems stickers, funny bots and GIFs have more priority over security. I think this tells a lot.

In Telegram founder: US intelligence tried to bribe us to weaken encryption

You're right and I believe WhisperSystems is doing something similar (or was at least working on it last year when I spoke with one of the developers). I vaguely remember them claiming that group chat is about the same as multi-device, cryptography-wise. I specifically meant Telegrams E2E implementation. Apart from other problems with it [1] the fact that it's not on by default, as others have stated, makes that most people (especially non-technical users) don't use it.
