Same reason the definition of "literally" changed in the dictionary. That's a really interesting fact about emojis I didn't know about, though.

Tom Scott has a very good presentation on emojis. [video=youtube;5OPkGQoPeHk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OPkGQoPeHk[/video]
There seems to be a lot of people that hate Emoji, although I think it's more because of how they're overused or associated with teens, rather than anything wrong with Emoji itself. I find them great for multiple reasons. Apps like Monzo make great use of Emoji too, and show how a company can integrate them to just add that little bit of spark to messages. iOS just needs an emoji search now, macOS has it so it shouldn't be hard to implement, I can use Gboard for the moment
Windows is getting emoji input via hardware come next update even. I've always just used the touch keyboard to input them since windows 8
