Yes, although pushing a firmware update to turn a horse carriage into a model Y is, perhaps, slightly less practical than adding Markdown support to a chat client.
The original comment was a blanket "much more inferior in terms of functionality and usability." I hope to elucidate that, in the context of a DARPA grant, it might be worth the effort to look to the future, and differentiate between fundamental problems and fixable issues.
I wouldn't say the same for an XMPP client, for example. But WhatsApp and signal are very, very close.
Perhaps even closer than a horse and a model Y. ;)
