And I’m very happy about that. Imagine the horror of some apps sending notifications to wake up an app, so they can track your ip/location/whatever. I’d say give more control to Apple.

Meh, let me as a user decide if an app should be allowed in the background or not. The "kill everything" approach to keep battery life is just a band aid and more often than not just ruining someone's experience. I've heard sooo many stories of people using fitness trackers on ios that stops working in the middle of a run, for instance.

there are other solutions to accomplish the same goal (edit: maybe not all of the whatsapp features though), but it requires a bit of work. I believe the reason they did that was to allow whatsapp to keep working when they decided to update the voip notification behavior on ios 12 (or 13 ?) and stop forwarding voip if the app didn't actually trigger an "incoming call" screen after the notification has arrived.
