Interesting. I based my expectation on the built-in Terminal
application on macOS. It uses the same default font as Emacs, yet
emojis do not change the height of its lines.

Cannot Emacs, when defaulting to "Apple Color Emoji", make the emojis a
bit smaller? Terminal seems to do that.

As Apple often says in their keynotes, "Only Apple can do that." :)
