How you said it is specifically against HN guidelines which I bet is why you are getting downvoted.

What would a profound dismissal of ligatures in fonts look like? Maybe I should ask ChatGPT to write some three-paragraph bullshit that says the same thing that "word + emoticon".

You don't have to be "profound" to make a substantial comment. But as it is, you're being really unpleasant about something that ultimately doesn't matter enough to merit it.

(And I don't even like ligatures in programming fonts, I don't use them!)
