But then why is she 'she'?

Because "it" is dehumanizing, "he" gets used as a gender-neutral pronoun IRL all the time, "he" has also been used in SF in this way before (The Left Hand of Darkness, etc), so having some works with "she" used in a neutral or universal way is valuable to balance that out. The pronouns chosen in English are a reaction to our society's use of gender, rather than the in-universe use. As an English-speaking reader/SF fan, I found it refreshing (in ways I hadn't consciously realized I wanted before picking it up).
