"They" is plural AND singular. Obviously it creates confusion.
Fair pushback, however, again, I would ask to which degree and to what end.
"There is an entity named doob, and they are responsible for this thing" at least to me kinda solves the exact thing (attribution, "where to ask with questions") it needs to solve, while simultaneously encoding the least amount of metadata possible.
You may genuinely not know the gender of an online nickname, and, frankly, you also don't really have to know? Why share this metadata in the first place.
I kinda see your point regarding "it pulls in culture war", but, to be fair, it's "they/them". Language that - in this very usage - predates the culture war by centuries.
So.. idk I think you might be wrong here.
