The problem with the singular "they" is that it makes sentences harder to construct and parse correctly. It's the best friend the unclear antecedent ever had.

I'm not making a moral case here, nor even really a grammatical one. Just a practical one. Using the singular "they" lowers the overall utility of the English language.

You're totally within your rights to consider that an acceptable tradeoff, of course. There's a lot to be said for that point of view.
