It's only the telnet client that you'd use to test services, that's a
simple installation. It's the telnet server that's a very bad idea (*)
to have on a system.
* There's no encryption over a telnet link, so logon credentials can be
seen by anybody snooping the network. To use a telnet server, you log
into it, so username and password are going to be sent unencrypted. But
a telnet client can be used to test various servers that you don't log
into, so it's safe to use as long as you think about what you send.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I
read messages from the public lists.
