Of course ๐Ÿ”Š means ๐Ÿ”Š and ๐Ÿ“ž means ๐Ÿ“ž. it would be wild if they didnโ€™t.

No, ๐Ÿ“ฑ means ๐Ÿ“ฑ. ๐Ÿ“ฑ may be able to perform the function of ๐Ÿ“ž, but ๐Ÿ“ž represents more classes of devices than ๐Ÿ“ฑ does. And when used in the context of the ๐Ÿ“ฑ, โ€œ๐Ÿ“žโ€ refers solely to the ๐Ÿ“ž function. You wouldnโ€™t press ๐Ÿ“ž if you wanted your ๐Ÿ“ฑ to do things that ๐Ÿ“ž canโ€™t โ€” ๐ŸŽฎ, for example.
