As a matter of fact, Whatsapp wouldn't be the hardest app to replicate if supporting low-level (and iPhones hihi) phones wasn't a goal.
I think the most advanced use cases for Whatsapp are notifications and registering itself as a share app, both supported by PWA tecnologies.
I get your point, but my title and the comment disclaimer both make it clear that web apps aren't a silver bullet now. I hope it becomes one someday, but it might not, and there's no problem with that.

Ok, how about teaching us how to make a PWA WhatsApp clone xd.
WhatsApp is a native app because they don't want to store your data, they can't afford it.
But for a PWA people expect them to work all across their devices not like "No it's an Android app, you can't run it on your PC or IOS device"
