TLDR: yes, governments in favor of Chat Control legislation want to make absolutely sure it doesn't apply to them.

Chat Control 1 or 2?

Meanwhile in Spain I use WhatsApp to contact the municipality, the GP uses it to send my blood results and package delivery drivers ask me to share my location. I hate it.

Why not delete it? I assume that if you don't have it, they offer some other form of communication with you?

Yes, they do but they require walking to their office and deal with paper or call them during ever shrinking office hours. Take your poison.

Pick your poison.
“Take” sounds too threatening.

I don't understand why they put this up like it's working in their favor. Their website doesn't explain anything extraordinary that makes them different from the average chat app, except that it is europe based.

What would possibly differentiate a chat app?

At least for the financial institutions on this list, I can say they have no other choice. Regulation forces them to log everything to avoid insider trading, etc. Any communication outside of their internal systems can't be logged and is therefore a compliance risk.

GDPR guarantees a right to privacy even on work devices. I think you need to filter out personal messages if compliance requires logging.
