Couldn't you have made the same argument against changing it in the first place?

  And changing is back is significantly easier. You don't have to design it, get review etc.

  No because the reason it was changed is actually Apple's fault. They switched to a water pistol but because you can transmit an emoji cross platform, what may be perceived as a innocent message using the water pistol emoji could come across as a negative message when that water pistol is rendered as a gun in the receiver's phone. Scroll down in this page for the example I am citing: [0]:https://blog.emojipedia.org/apple-and-the-gun-emoji/ https://blog.emojipedia.org/apple-and-the-gun-emoji/ This really raises an interesting attack vector. Get influential enough at Apple -> push a change that could cause trouble for others given you are the largest entity -> they will be forced to adopt your change. This should have been picked up by congress because it is some small group (or even one person) affecting the decisions of the entire industry. Also its pretty fitting that Musk has applied his signature move: Make the change damn the consequences and then re-learn the reason why it was done in the first place when some disaster occurs. It must be nice that he never has to deal with the consequences of his actions.
