It seems everyone's using ICQ, Jabber and Telegram, why?

We should be using tor people. Like pidgin messenger from tails. I mean you can use icq through XMPP-to-ICQ transport server by setting up XMPP Service Discovery plugin in Pidgin, but it's unreliable and prone to leaks. Also, ICQ doesn't have end-to-end encryption and logs all your messages on the server. All these things apply to Jabber too.
Then there's Signal, which is a mixed bag.
While I'm new to the carding game, I've been a backend dev for half my life and don't understand why you guys use these channels, as they are notoriously unsecure.
Am I missing something?

I am also surprised with the popularity of all three. Most people just don't have good opsec in general.
