WhatsApp hasn't even updated their TOS in their site since 2012 and moreover Facebook can disable account only if someone "infringe other people's intellectual property rights" inside FB. This makes me wonder what made it in the first place to allow FB disable account for violating WhatsApp terms.

Are you saying Facebook don't have a term in their ToCs equivalent to "Facebook reserves the right to stop service or remove data for any or no reason at any time without any notice"?

Edit: they do.

https://m.facebook.com/legal/terms section 4 (termination):

> If you violate the letter or spirit of this Statement, or otherwise create risk or possible legal exposure for us, we can stop providing all or part of Facebook to you.
