Skype has a ton of legacy (just look at this list: http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/) - supporting that can't be easy.

WhatsApp will probably face similar problems in 5-10 years, if they want to maintain compatibility with the myriad of clients they have in the wild.

They don't. They just announced dropping support for Blackberry and S60.
