Yes, but that didn't work in Firefox before this change. The whole point of this change is to make that work in Firefox as well. (Likewise, it still doesn't work in Chrome, Chrome-based browsers, and Electron apps.)

    How could Firefox or Chrome block a system shortcut??

    It's not so much that they're blocking it, as it is that they're not implementing it. In GNOME, as I understand it, the Emoji picker is implemented by the toolkit (GTK). That means that apps that don't (fully) use that toolkit, such as Chrome and Firefox, will need to add the implementation themselves. That is now done for Firefox.
