Firstly whatsapp was not the property of FB at the beginning. Secondly - you can have phone verification even with normal usernames.
My question is merely - why did they decide to have usernames as phone numbers when that has nothing to do with your phone?
Like instead of having my username mineistaken why must I have username of +14552455545421 ?
It has nothing to do with your phone as currently I am using whatsapp on the phone with different phone number than my whatsapp number (which was used just for verification).
