If we have older communications that use an emoji, it can retroactively edit the meaning if that emoji renders to a fundamentally different object than it used to, so this kind of change has the side effect of rewriting history unless people take extra care to only use fonts that match the age of the document.
It's already hard enough to communicate clearly and effectively in the modern world without having the rug pulled out from under us with stuff like this.
