Yeah I believe the plan for interop has been public for years now

FB messenger is largely used in US. In non-US countries everyone uses Whatsapp.

If they drop whatsapp to combine both of them, it will have quite serious effects and completely ruin the whole 'thing'.

interop is not about dropping one over the other, it's about being able to talk to messenger user through whatsapp

They could do this very gradually. First rename WhatsApp to Meta Messenger. Keep everything else the same. Then with interop being implemented slowly merge FB messenger into Meta Messenger.
