Sure, but the point is, it doesn't come with WhatsApp on it.
According to their ad, it does.
No, it's showcasing the ability to install Android apps.
They have it in the screen shot. And my point stands: they said they would stop apps that were social or anti-privacy (by refusing to load them or dns blocking) and WhatsApp is both of these things.
Actually I checked their site and you're 100% right -- WhatsApp does come preinstalled: https://commodore.net/callback/
I agree, that's unbelievably stupid.
