Are you referring to the OS feature of automatically inserting emojis into webcam? Then yes -- I agree. Even if it was an amazing and very useful feature (which I dont think it is) it should have been strictly opt-in. Not a "pre-checked" or heavily pushed feature that most users were lead to click agree-agree on when installing the update.

I can imagine this being deeply disruptive to short-term career plans for many aspiring professionals in junior roles, with not a lot of financial independence and safety net. Especially in developing countires like India (which I can speak about) -- and I imagine even more so for lower income countries.
These certification exams cost $150 to $300 -- not counting any other spend on training courses, AWS labs etc -- each of which must have been a significant financial decision for many candidates that are either at the beginning of their careers or trying to break into IT industry.
At entry to medium levels of IT careers -- these are given enough importance in hiring.
In some cases in order to keep an existing job, certifications may be a condition (for instance -- someone is on a PIP and getting a relevant cert was one criteria. Yes this happens.)
