> WhatsApp and iMessage

Don't both of these have default/recommended configurations that back up your chats to cloud services?

iCloud just recently added Messages in iCloud, but I know a fair amount of people that turn it off since the default iCloud storage space is 5gb.

So the messages on your phone are not backed up with the normal iCloud backup?

I know WhatsApp nags to turn on chat backup to the cloud.

normal iCloud backup I don't think so, but it does ask you to turn on 'messages in icloud' once you upgrade to iOS 13 and/or get a new phone, albeing one time only.
