That's exactly what I was thinking. If WhatsApp was an Android-only app, it might be able to claim end-to-end security. Even then a quirk in a certain version of Android on one end, or even a hardware quirk with a certain model phone, could impact security.
Of course if you want the most secure communication possible with someone, you won't use a smartphone in the first place. There isn't a cellphone on the planet that's 100% secure from eavesdropping.
