In this case, the rules of Unicode has set itself up to be doomed. If the organization favors commercial votes over common sense, it is no longer an organization with the purpose of standardizing human glyphs, but a company that accepts icons from companies for cash.
However, going back to my original point, UC's decision to standardize smileys from Japanese icons was a mistake, and it can be reversed by releasing that part of the standard into a non-UC-endorsed extension, or by deprecating it entirely, recommending system-dependent methods for transmitting icons instead.
