"They" can be singular. The problem is "they" isn't a real pronoun when used that way. It's used as a substitute for when the proper pronoun isn't known because it's ambiguous. The ambiguity causes problems and is why it should never be used except as a last resort.

Yes, I know about "he or she", but it sounds so fucking stupid. I can't do it.
