Is whey protein better for you than meat? Why (or why not)?

It depends on how you look at it. Whey isn't meant to replace any hard protien source. It is a supplement. If you look at it for what it is it has the advantage of being lower in fat and cals for the same protien benefits. That is why BBers love it so much. If you compare this to what Faiz said I would argue the reduction in cals and fat probably outweigh the digestion advantage you recieve from meat products, you only burn cals in the lower teen percentage points from digestion and whey just has too low of a calorie/fat ratio to lose.

If we are talking about Tuna or Chicken breast then I might be wrong but it beats red meat for sure.
