Whyte has long stated that he wanted a belt going into a Joshua rematch, presumably for a larger share of the pot. Personally I think he should have taken the Joshua fight when it was on the table, but if you applaud Wilder for "betting on himself" you should be able to see where Whyte is coming from.
What we know is that Whyte has been found with drugs in his system. What we don't know is whether he was deliberately cheating or his supplements were contaminated. If he turns out to be a hypocritical drug cheat I'll have no problem calling him such but even murderers get a trial so I'm inclined to wait and see.
As for the WBC rulebook, they have a rule which says they have the right to change the rules which sums it all up for me.
If Wilder wanted the fight, the WBC would have accommodated him and collected their sanctioning fee, I think we all know that.
