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.

    I’m using various Matrix clients to access WhatsApp. In theory I could turn my account into a bot, but I don’t want to deal with WhatsApp’s bot detection. I could theoretically comment out the code that makes delete requests/retractions propagate or even warn that there was an attempted deletion, but I don’t feel the need to.

    This setup doesn’t support calling, which is a shame. Maybe one day.
