Do you mean removing the option if HarfBuzz isn't available?

As far as I understand it, emoji can be displayed without, they just
won't have color? Which might be something that users without HarfBuzz
would like to be able to choose.

(Having color emoji is just my motivation to make the patch.)

I think changing the default would be annoying to users, but I don't
have any evidence in either direction. Maybe some users would consider
it "modern" to change it.
