They didn't "advertise" it at all. A support note is not an advertisement.

And it isn't what they said "first and foremost":

'iOS 17 brings big updates to Phone, Messages, and FaceTime that give 
you new ways to express yourself as you communicate. StandBy delivers a 
new full-screen experience with glanceable information designed to view 
from a distance when you turn iPhone on its side while charging. AirDrop 
makes it easier to share and connect with those around you and adds 
NameDrop for contact sharing. Enhancements to the keyboard make entering 
text faster and easier than ever before. iOS 17 also includes updates to 
Widgets, Safari, Music, AirPlay, and more.'

That is the entire first paragraph.

Can you point out where it says "emoji"?
