>even when fingerprinting isn't occurring

But it is really occuring. Detection of emojis present in the system is in fact font fingerprinting. Often the goal of that fingerprinting is not to identify a user, but this problem is unsolvable without a general-purpose AI. So, from a point of view of a dumb computer it is fingerprinting and we cannot do anythong about it for now.
