I guess the point is that you can get away with such sloppy code as long as it is a solo project of a relatively small size.
I am not sure at which point it becomes too big and new features and bugs are just impossible to handle.
It might have been the right choice for Telegram though. Their app feels snappy, so the 'only' big downside is that now it looks like they are going to have to thrown away this entire code base and replace it with the one from Telegram X (a third party client they bought)
