I think a high definition photo taken on a recent phone takes up an awful lot more device memory than a "big number of chats"

Yeah, but Whatsapp chats tend to be full of those... and videos.
(On Android), if you don't care about the (old) WhatsApp media, just delete it from your phone. It's all just loose files in `/storage/android/data/com.whatsapp` (or thereabouts). The text content of the chats will remain available.
Whatsapp automatically resizes them (in standard settings)
But it still gets big.
