Yeah but... why? So social media outlets can make coming in for a test c00l and hip and down with the kids? Does a swab emoji improve the message or is it just colorful seasoning?

Why? It would be next to meaningless now but have to be supported forever. This actually exemplifies why they need to be more strict about what goes in.
No, it exemplifies that we don't need a central authority like Unicode to control what we can/cannot say in emojis.
Funny how alphabetic text allows you to write whatever by just combining ~30 symbols in different order and quantities but for hieroglyphics you need thousands of symbols and it still is not enough, and never will be.
Another problem is that some emojis are horribly missing. For example during COVID it would have been nice to have a cotton swab thing.
