If this means I can deny WhatsApp access to my regular contacts and still have a decent user experience I'm all for it.

Oh good. It’s really annoying have my contacts in one place; better to have a subset of them on a proprietary app

Because how could you sell contact data to google and apple if they already have it?

Or reinforce your walled garden and strengthen user lock-in?

While these are both certainly true it has also been annoying when I've added a regular contact but it doesn't show up in WhatsApp straight away
