Hate to break it to ya, folks, but it is actually important for Apple to keep up with emoji releases for compatibility across operating systems, and these things do matter to a not-insignifiant number of users.

And also, Apple has multiple teams which specialize in different areas of the operating system. They are capable of working on multiple things, including adding features and fixing (or creating, or failing to fix in a timely manner) bugs. The people who work on emoji probably are not the people who work on the notifications system, networking capabilities, or the Mail app.
 
A lot of the changes are just color/shading but the hearts change is one I dislike. I get that they reuse the heart emoji but I prefer the original hearts because they look more 3d-ish and soft.

Imagine thinking that because you don't like emoji's, that the rest of the world doesn't. I use emoji fairly often and always enjoy the added ones. I always find it cool how they add emoji's and I say "wow I never would have thought they'd add that" like the waffle for example

The Gboard keyboard has a "search emojis" bar when you're in the emoji menu and it's really handy.

Admittedly I haven’t tried it. How broad is it? Like, if I type “monkey” does it also show all the various monkey faces and the gorilla too?

This response is too well thought out. I don't like it.
 
MacRumors editor, would it be possible to start showing before after image captures? I have no idea how the hearts in the eyes are different.

There are a dozen or so people here that didn't know that and will be shocked. Sadly, that revelation will not be retained by most.
 
This is the emoji that needs to be fixed the most:

I should be seeing the knuckles and I think this every time I look at it.

Unfortunately, we have in this topic the living proof that they have a frozen brain, like @waveman 🥴
