One one hand, it makes it looks singularer (this is definitely not a word) which helps with the potential ambiguity of singular they. On the other hand, you (hypothetical you, another underappreciated pronoun) treat "they" as plural in almost every other way: you say "they are" not "they is". So is it "they are doing it themself"?
