Both are true, but AFAIK our policy until now was not to mention such
fonts in fontset.el.
Emoji is just one example, btw. At least for MS-Windows, the latest
versions come with many good fonts that cover most of the scripts. So
if the restriction to avoid mentioning proprietary fonts in fontset.el
could be lifted, we could produce a very capable and complete fontset
for MS-Windows. I wouldn't be surprised if the same situation didn't
exist on macOS. Not sure how things are on GNU/Linux, and what are
the differences between the distros in this respect.
