Yes, it's a massive level of cringe.

Gmail is convenient, but if it's about to be filled with 😊 and 👍 then I've got to stop using it for any serious communication.

I work at a large company so get a lot of emails. This could conceivably cutdown on the amount of "Nice job!" type emails that don't really have much substance.
