This article points the blame squarely back at Samsung. I've tried contacting WhatsApp support and a long time with Google support and they can't see a problem.
As all 3 of my family phones recently updated to OUI5.1 I suspect that is the issue.

For those that still have a problem; open the Samsung contacts app, click on the menu (left side), then settings (cog at the top right), then About Contacts...then click rapidly on the Contacts header. 9 times...you'll see a message at the bottom of the screen as you do it counting down.
A page open s called '3rd party accounts visibility' turn on the WhatsApp slider.
And now it works! Voice triggered WhatsApp in Google assistant.
My question to Samsung is why do we need to do this? What happened that has caused the problem?

Brilliant. Same issue with my old S20, now resolved.
