This is probably just a consequence of how unicode emoji modifiers work

But why on earth is the basketball modifiable with the skin color? Are we going to do that with all emoji? Are we finally gonna have the ๐Ÿ† in all skin tones?

That's not how it works. A user may add to the modifier character but they still need to be an actual image change to actually cause the character to do anything.

It's not a tint it's actually a different image that's being loaded.
