in fact, telegram does support e2e encryption ("secret chats")

It does, but it's not enabled by default; and that's the point.
I've been in quite many Telegram chats, none of which has enabled it. For most practical purposes you can just consider Telegram not to have e2e since it's no good if it's not used.
