Unsure. It seems that they have Signal installed by default, but not WhatsApp. However, if you install WhatsApp you can make a WhatsApp call directly from the dialer I think?

Exactly. Signal is available as a default however you can choose not to install it.

WhatsApp is shown as an option if you have it installed, the option won't show up if you don't.

The rationale being: We didn't exactly ant to promote WhatsApp but still have it present for those who already use it.
