Grammar purity is a reasonable alternate explanation. My past English teachers and some of my current friends would be appalled at the use of "they/them" as a singular pronoun. I have utmost confidence my friends are not covert sexists; rather they appreciate the power of clarity in writing. |

The singular "they" dates back to at least the twelfth century.
