WAAS Approaches have vertical guidance but they

What makes you say that. The only definition I'm aware of (in the P/CG)
only requires that the approach provide electronic vertical guidance:

"PRECISION APPROACH PROCEDURE- A standard instrument approach procedure in
which an electronic glideslope/glidepath is provided"

I might argue that an LNAV approach with "advisory" vertical guidance does
not really meet that definition, but surely an LPV approach provides
"electronic vertical guidance".
