How come that WhatsApp has so many security flaws recently and Signal isn't affected? This cannot be coincidence right? Signal has less people working on it, no massive corporation behind the product, more people as smart as Moxie working on it. I don't believe these flaws are just bugs... Right?

What is the basis of the assertion that "Signal isn't affected"? Do you track CVEs for Signal?

Signal has a team of people behind it whose main focus is security and privacy. Of course everyone makes security mistakes, but I'd expect the Signal team to make fewer of them.

In this case, I would say the fewer people working on Signal is a strength, not a weakness.
