Actually, a few people do still pronounce the 'h'. The 'wh' sound is not just 'w' as in water, but said with more air. You don't close your mouth when you say 'what'. The word 'who' is still mostly said correctly.

But most English speakers are lazy and the phonetic 'wh' is slowly dying out to be replaced by 'w'.

This is also the same with birth and berth. Pronounced differently in Scotland where the language has moved less quickly than in the more populated South of England.

It is quite possible that the Scots speak English more correctly than the English.

But what is correct the way to do it? And does it really matter? :-)

It had to do with a quirk in the pronounciation in the German language. Little known secret but they really did mean to name it Life but the letter 'v' is pronounced like an 'f' in German. So (drunk at the time) they wrote down Live thinking they were saying Life. By the time they realized their mistake, the lawyers had already filed for the trademark and patents, and charged their exhorbitant fees, so it was too late... and the rest is history!

But this is one of the problems with the latin alphabet (alfabet!) - you need more than one letter to represent some sounds, leading to much confuzzlement. The Arabs have it better here...
