Agreed.

It's amazing how telnet still exists and even proliferates when it
doesn't have to.

Probably it should be requisite to explain why telnet is being used
before asking any questions on how to use it...

A guy I worked with a while back insisted on using it because Windows
doesn't have a built in SSH client. Even after someone sniffed his
password and showed him. Unbelievable.
