It's supposed to, but, disappointedly, https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2019-06/msg00124.html remains without a response, and therefore only the Windows build currently prefers HarfBuzz. I still hope Yamamoto-san will respond and describe his proposal, and we could then implement the same behavior on all platforms.
