I haven’t used Whatsapp Groups. This says the analysis is from looking at who is in a group, so just metadata, not contents of messages.
That sounds like a normal marketing technique, though I don’t know how hard or easy it is to get a list of users in a group.
And also a phone number is Whatsapp is easy to lookup in Facebook and tie to a real person.
It’s all plausible without breaking into Whatsapp. But that doesn’t disprove inside information.
