Exactly, Iβm also puzzled by folks who even mention server-side code in this context. Publishing the server code doesnβt improve security, because - unlike with the client-side code - thereβs no way to verify that the same code is run on the servers.
And you donβt even need the server-side code to check the integrity of Secret Chats - they are solid regardless of whatβs going on on the servers (thatβs the whole point). In other words, publishing server-side code wonβt help verify neither Secret, nor Cloud Chats, and would constitute a marketing gimmick that has nothing to do with security.
After having heard that I put our plans to publish the server code on hold. I didnβt want to provide dictators with tools to enslave their population - that shouldnβt be the legacy of Telegram. We are not ready to betray our values because a few confused users seem to think publishing server-side code will somehow improve verifiability.

Me: The code of Telegram apps is open. It is verifiable. No other app has verifiable builds. WhatsAppβs code is hidden and intentionally obfuscated.
Confused user: You are lying, your server code is not open!

Me:
π€―
So why not publish the server code anyway, even if it adds zero to security? 3 years ago I learnt that an authoritarian regime (you may guess which) was looking for a way to obtain Telegramβs server code. Their plan was to launch their own equally convenient local app and then to shut down all other social media in the country.After having heard that I put our plans to publish the server code on hold.
