Because amphibians are essentially made up of frogs/toads, salamanders, and caecilian.
People like frogs, it is an important emoji to have.
Salamanders on a small scale look too similar to a lizard.
Caecilians on a small scale look too similar to worms or snakes.
So the only reasonable amphibian to have an emoji is a frog.

- cpeterso 2y agoFWIW, iOS's emoji keyboard suggests the lizard emoji if you search for "salamander" (or "gecko", though it's not an amphibian).
