I have been using telegram for about 3 years and no single add other than in the settings a reminder to get a subscrption. Prety much invisible.

It's certainly not a good way to get back the market share they've lost in recent years.

I would say that a new socket makes sense if there are new interconnects required, such as additional PCIe/chipset lanes, more DIMM channels, or if power requirements increase in such a way that more power pins are required. LGA1851 did add 4 more PCIe lanes, which were well needed to remain competitive with AM5. I can't say why that required 151 more pins, but whether it's 4 or 151, it would have required a new socket anyway. As for LGA1954, rumors are that Nova Lake-S will support 32 PCIe 5.0 lanes. If these are CPU lanes, then that would explain the jump in pin numbers and will be a serious challenge to AMD for the workstation AI market, allowing for motherboards with 3 GPUs on PCIe 5.0 x8, plus a couple of M.2 drives. Or for the average person, a single GPU at x16, plus up to four M.2 drives without any bottleneck. A lot of I/O breathing room there, if the rumors are true. I would maybe have preferred a move to quad-channel RAM to avoid starving those 52 cores and be more competitive with Macs.
