"there are likely fewer than 2,000 employees left at the company."
To me, that still seem like an unnecessarily large team. WhatsApp had only 55 employees when they got acquired.

These technical challenges aren't even on the same planet.
It also did not yet have:
- Document sharing
- Voice / video calls
- End-to-end encryption
- Read receipts
- WhatsApp Web
Still an impressive piece of engineering, but definitely a completely different beast.
