From a glance, none of these exploit vulnerabilities in Discord/Telegram, they'te just garbage you have to convince someone to run. There's nothing to be learned from their source code, no legitimate action the companies can really take to improve their software and stop this and no way to use the software for anything other than trying to ruin someone's life.
If you want to go ahead and make the free speech argument, feel free, but I don't buy it.

People who use this or program it for others to use in the wild are human garbage and should be socially isolated, it's as simple as that. It's their moral choice and when they choose malice, they will have to be morally judged. To the least.
Yes. It allows you to impersonate someone, cause issues for other players under their name, sell them on to others to want to do bad things like that etc.
In Roblox's case there are items that sell for thousands of dollars. In Minecraft's case there's a very large marketplace for the accounts themselves - the game has a lot of cheaters that get banned from servers regularly and cycle through accounts to keep playing.
Not even close. It takes down a whole computer. My son downloaded a file he thought was a friend he hadn't heard from for awhile to look at the project he was working on. Had to wipe the computer. Fortunately his brother had the skills to save his files and check that they were clean. They also used his card to charge steam account stuff. Had to warn all his friends he had been infected and nuke his discord including his own server. Had to get a new bank card.

"For educational purposes" is the new "It's just a joke, man."
I get the argument that non-disclosure isn't working ("isn't perfect" would be a better phrasing) and that once the source code is out there, you can't contain its spread. But I'm not making a political argument here on how to prevent this from happening, but a moral argument (pretty obvious in my post). Basically if you spread this "for educational purposes" *wink*wink* you are part of the problem and most of your justifications are worthless and disengenuine. And if you're really a free speech advocate you allow me my moral judgement.
You are right. That is not to say that discord has a ton of security issues. For example, thousands of people, myself included have been screaming from the top of our lungs for years that sending files over discord creates public links that anyone can access and yet that issue was never addressed.
