I don't understand how kinit helps with anything.

There are two ways apps get run from the .desktop file.

Either you're going via klauncher, kdeinit sets the env and spawns
telegram, and you still have the problem
Or you're not, and you inherit the env of the parent process (i.e
plasmashell), and you still have the problem.

Sure, it fixes with launching it via a terminal (without kwrapper5), but
then you could just add --platform, and it will break just as much.
