Also crucial is the changing social structures & norms. How often do
we say "he or she" for the lack of a better pronoun to refer to the

expect a 'random natural' process to give birth to a good neuter to
replace this inefficient three-word phrase?

Since that process is causing the replacement to be "they", I personally say no.
