There are good ways to use "they" as a pronoun in sci-fi - a species' culture could lack the words "he" and "she" entirely if a person's sex was viewed as a more intimate subject, and so never developed unique pronouns for the sex of somebody they aren't talking to - but this is just a copy-and-paste of the same stupid bullshit people pull today.
Sadly, the common sense approach doesn't work with these people, as they literally make a living out of "deconstructing language" and shitting all over the existing definitions of words.
