Multiple members are associated with a group.
And where there is more than one gathering of people, there will be various opinions or conversations going on.
Now, if a member makes a false comment or sends something wrong in the group, then no one else could delete the message except that member.

This ability is limited to group admins only, not available to other members.

WhatsApp will officially roll out a feature called 'Retrieve deleted messages' in the first half of 2023.
