Why are users force-fed with stuff like the “hovering emoji toolbar” in Teams?

I mean, it's not an ad or something that brings revenue to them. I try to CTRL-C something in a message, and I'm met with a toolbar full of smileys on top of what I'm focusing on. What's the incentive to make this annoying thing mandatory for so many people? I can change font size and style, but not this. An ad would actually be less annoying than someone trying to modify my way of communicating with others. "Here, have a smiley-face! Are you sure you don't want a smiley-face on that? Come on, put a smiley on your colleague's message!"
