'They' is and has long been an acceptable term for an unknown individual. For example:

'Someone keeps fucking up this article, I wonder what they were thinking. They must have a lot of free time.'

'It', however, is rude and dehumanizing, and not even accurate. It's better for people who don't understand English very well to be momentarily weirded out before (hopefully) adapting and moving on rather than using a completely inappropriate pronoun that hasn't been used in canon.
