Why Telegram had to follow Apple and Google when they suspended a voting app
Yep. And not only bots - 3rd-party clients are much better tolerated compared to wa/signal.
Telegram has a clean, compact 3rd-party client that just works: https://github.com/ars3niy/tdlib-purple/
Signal has arcane, bloated (multiple dependencies, requires Java), and brittle client library https://github.com/hoehermann/purple-signal (there are other semi-abandoned projects)
WA 3rd-party clients are flat-out dead: https://github.com/davidgfnet/whatsapp-purple (and bunch more, all dead, or half-dead) Plus, WA would ban people they suspect to use 3rd-party clients.
