> The notification that you see in WhatsApp, Signal, SSH, PGP, or whatever is the defense.

That defense, which happens to be the only defense, is turned off by default in WhatsApp.

You seem to argue they do so because it's bad UX to present such notification by default. That's - in my humble opinion - like suggesting browsers should turn off TLS chain errors by default because it's bad UX and just proceed with the connection as if nothing happened...
