So what? Gender isn't relevant to every online activity.

A century ago we didn't have any gender neutral clothing, either: if we need better pronouns, then let's make some up.

Perhaps Google finds asking users for their gender (which is highly correlated with your name, anyway) to be an easier task than introducing the necessary pronouns into every language in the globe.

What about languages that don't have gender neutral pronouns?
