How about when there are folks who have been harmed by people with agendas?

They’d prefer their code or commentary to be inclusive, not exclusive?

I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make

Imagine you have been purposefully targeted for harassment or excluded from activities in the past due to your preferred pronouns or perceived gender. Seeing “he” with that context would likely feel excluding, which is a reason someone without an ‘agenda’ would want to see it changed.

someone … would want to see it changed

So, by definition, “someone” has their own agenda.
