I'm a bit surprised by the reactions here on Apple following the path of highest profitability since this is what they've always done and is what gave them the highest valuation on the stock market.
When the previous regime was pushing nonsensical things like 'men can get pregnant' Apple added emoji of pregnant men to their products. Now that a new government has landed which does not hold with such nonsense but which does include the owner of X in a significant advisory role Apple joins the fray. If the pregnant-men-lunacy ever raises its head again Apple will fairly quickly - but not as a first mover, that is not their thing - start adding more pregnant men again. They follow the money and have always done so which makes the often religiously tinted adherence to the Cult of Apple all the more ridiculous. If one thing is to come from this it will be the lessening of the zeal with which the cultists praise their Holy Corporation for which I will gladly say 'Thank you, Elon Musk, for making these people remove the blinds from their eyes even if unintended.'
1. The pregnant man emoji proposal was submitted to the Unicode Consortium in March 2019, during Trump's first presidency.
2. Even if this goofy example was true, how is that at all equivalent to donating $1M to a Presidential inauguration, attending that inauguration, and resuming business with a company owned by a man with extremely close ties to that presidency?
This is classic "both sides" brain. It's nonsense on stilts.
According to your reference, the original submission does not have pregnant man emoji (or Man with Swolen Bely). It's later updated in March 2020 and added in 2021.
And with with a lot of promotion activities for LGBT under Biden administration, many weird things related to LGBT happened and approved. So saying Biden had nothing to do with that is self-deception.
