90% of Telegram chats live in cleartext on their servers; no one would need to go to those lengths to get chat data from them.

Telegram chats not being end-to-end crypted are encrypted at rest on their servers. In this case telegram definitely controls the encryption keys but distributes them across jurisdictions to mitigate some risks.
