Isn't a lot of it's popularity among users who only have one device? I've only met one person who I know used WhatsApp, and that was just to talk to his parents in India.
WhatsApp isn't really single device in practice; sure all the messages are routed through (usually) your phone but there's very little friction to using n devices. I'm logged in from 4 different machines right now.
