Too many Mac apps are being built with Electron
Better comparison with WhatsApp instead of ancient text editor would be Telegram app [1] built with Swift and C/C++, given hypertext and rich media that is modern messaging app like Telegram, it is resembles more a subset of web browser functionality rather than text editor, so binaries for this around 235 MB in size.

What's going on with the Mac version repository?
Telegram's official website links to a repo from user overtake, but that hasn't been updated in six months, despite the app obviously getting many updates in that timeframe. The repo has a few pull requests—some open, some closed, but nothing closed in the last fix months.

super choppy video streams
There was a issue opened on GitHub a while back apparently but that was closed due to inactivity. What you might want to do is either open a new issue directly in GitHub (provide as much information as possible and include debug logs) or just send them a support ticket via the support form (and include debug logs).

Issues have been ongoing for the past couple weeks. It's not clear if this is the client or backend. Dual stack works again with v6.20.2, but IPv6-only with NAT64 still doesn't. Actively being worked on, and hopefully some good learnings. Issue link thread: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/6439
