Comment (by siliconforks):

 I think the problem is that Windows apparently does not support flags at
 all (with a small number of exceptions).  See the discussion here under
 "Windows woes":

 https://nolanlawson.com/2022/04/08/the-struggle-of-using-native-emoji-on-
 the-web/

 So it seems the twemoji script will always be loaded (by design) on
 Windows.

 There is an additional complication: Firefox includes its own set of flags
 to work around this.  So in Firefox the twemoji script may or may not get
 loaded, depending on whether other tests fail.
