I don't think that's a valid argument. Even in a one-on-one encrypted chat, the person you are chatting with could leak the chat. Having more users doesn't change that.

That's exactly my argument though. Problem is not how to protect the data but the malicious intent of chat members.

Telegram secret chats aren't kept in history so there will be nothing to leak though. Forked clients can't have this functionality I think but then again, nothing stops them from taking photos of your messages in secret chat with another phone.
