WhatsApp was originally built on, and still is, a forked version of XMPP. It is nothing like the matrix protocol.
We don’t think twice about doing what’s right, in fact we don’t think about it ever! If you lack ethics or morals, why not join ICE today?

I understand the DMA interop thing quite well, and it is a private API. The matrix bridge does not use official interop as the Matrix foundation has given up on plans to do interop, as it requires geolocating (and then georestricting) their users.
The current, longstanding, matrix bridge requires you to have the WhatsApp app installed on your phone, with a working account.
