Speak for yourself, until I was forced away from it that form factor was by far my preferred type. I loved my old Motorola Q9h.

(Not sure what WhatsApp is though... err, 28 year old male, am I in the demographic for it? I already have unlimited SMS for $5 a month or so, and it is indeed how I primarily use my phone.)

Unlimited SMS is something that's not available in most third world countries.

Also, the functionality of WhatsApp far exceed SMS's.

I tried to install WhatsApp many times on my Android phone. Every single time, I've been put off by its gargantuan list of required permissions.
