It really doesn't matter, or in general you can never be sure that any app that stores any data won't ever meet requests of any officials or any people with guns.

Especially the case of Telegram was quite simple, since SEC filed a complaint we could clearly see who are the main investors. It's not necessarily about the country or investors either.

You can choose only the place where things are stored and expect the company to act according to local laws (for e.g. Protonmail doing its proton things in Swiss judiciary).

And, I guess, a thing we have to teach people is something vague and unclear like post-privacy scene, like how one has to operate knowing that pigeon mails can always be spoofed, no matter how encrypted the conversation is.
