Even then, whether "them" references a group or an individual is left unclear--as I noted. E.g., "you" vs "y'all." Exclusively using they/them is mildly less precise, but people acting like it's the end of the English language is silly.

As I also explicitly stated, acting like it's not slightly imprecise is facile. It could be worse, at least English doesn't have gendered nouns like Spanish, Italian, etc. 😁
