#4It is kinda funny to see the trajectories that the different companies pick.
Samsung is the only one that puts a little negative blip at the end of theirs.
Apple shows a little blip at the beginning, followed by what appears to be endless, inevitable increase.
From 2013-2015, Microsoft put stagnation toward the end of theirs, but then a tiny optimistic increasing trend at the end. However, starting in 2017 they decided theirs should look more like Apple's.
Google is always optimistic in the long run but puts some bumps in the middle.
Facebook minimally fulfills the requirement to draw a graph.

For the same reason that there are many fonts. Unicode only defines codepoints, like "UPSIDE-DOWN FACE U+1F643", similar to how it only defines "U+0041 LATIN CAPITAL A".
I for one believe it was a very stupid idea to standardize emoji, but here we are.

Are you sure? The Japanese conflate blue and green all the time.
