That's not really true. #WhatsApp is by far the most popular messenger app. It ran on an #XMPP server for most of its existence. XMPP has a standards body and a protocol for proposing standard extensions. So WhatsApp should have proposed extensions for all the features they found were missing from the protocol. They should have enabled federation while other providers catched up on implementing the new protocol extensions.
Instead, they decided to build a #silo.
