USA, Germany, Russia, Iran, China, Brazil, and other have tried to or have banned Telegram at various points of time in the past decade because of their concern they can't access Telegram data. You can't say the same for WhatsApp. That suggests WhatsApp isn't as secure as they say.

That logic is bogus. I can't say the same about WhatsApp because WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted. They can't give you any message data because they literally don't own it.
Telegram, on the other hand, does have all the messages. They just refuse to give it to authorities. But they could change that at any point and just start giving the data, while in WhatsApp, that's not possible by design.
