Why are there good mods for Discord (Aliucord, Vendetta…) and YouTube (Revanced), but no good mods for WhatsApp?

I feel like all apps by the user-stalking company Meta are not modded enough, though they are some of the most-used apps.

About ten years ago I used WhatsApp+ which had unheard of features like rounded profile pictures. At some point they banned me for a day, then it worked again until they banned for 3 days and after a ban of two weeks I finally gave up.

Nowadays it’d be still great if there were patches to e.g. schedule messages like Signal does, but imo there isn’t much missing anymore.
