You already know this, but to say the obvious out loud: Google is certainly big enough that they can pay both a 3D-rendered emoji team and a Drive search team. Drive search is bad because the Drive search team isn't working on it, not because they're short staffed due to investment in the 3D-emoji team, who wouldn't work on gdrive even if they had nothing else to do.

I believe you're referring to emotions, which are a separate and distinct concept/term

I didn't find it to be AI-generated.

Their priorities are all messed up. There are 12 emojis for pregnant non-women: 6 shades of pregnant men and 6 shades of pregnant non-binaries.

But there's no emoji for things you do need, like pouting face (you're forced to use enraged face which is too strong).
