I think there's plenty of evidence that people use pictograms. Just look at the millions of discord emoji and chat stickers. In that respect, they're showing remarkable constraint in only adding twenty. tbh my bigger worry is simply around implementation scope and complexity - kinda like browsers, Unicode and text rendering is perpetually getting harder to create new competitors / complete fonts / etc. Emoji are rather small in number and simple to implement though, if somewhat costly to include all those images / complex svgs.
