Incorrect that it doesn't work on all undead beings. Vampires have minds and they're susceptible to telepathy in The Vampire Diaries and Queen of the Damned. Zombies are mindless but they have brains, that when destroyed kills them for good, so a psionic blast should do the trick, and they've been mind controlled on Z Nation. Robots like Vision, but only sentient ones, are susceptible to telepathy.

Some users may be resistant or even immune to most forms of telepathy, but are still vulnerable to psionic blasts. There is a difference between firing a bolt of psychic energy from your brain at targets' brains or minds and actually entering it to attacking the brain/mind physically and mentally.

Perhaps a reason why most telepaths still resort to entering minds is because you don't actually have to take aim and as long as you detect a mind, without even being near them or within line of sight, you'd be able to attack them. And maybe it's faster, at the speed of thought too.
