and it does so for abso-fucking-lutely no good reason!

Vendor lock-in. The next generation will demand teams because they cannot get used to other shortcuts.

i mean...that certainly is an explanation, but it's a shit strategy:

there are a lot of objectively false names for emojis, you can't expect people to get used to that...

"eyeroll" for example is called "bored"...which makes absolutely no sense. (at least in german, maybe it's less bad in english)

I don't see that ever leading to vendor lock-in, just perpetual frustration...
