You probably can't expect WhatsApp on any niche platform, ever. It's proprietary and already stopped support for Windows Phone and old Android versions, both of which were at that point gigantic bestsellers compared to such a project.

Because KaiOS is one of the most popular mobile operating systems right now, even at second place in India. Of course Facebook wants access to that market.
