I don't know why the gender of the player should play any role here. It is completely irrelevant. The one who is always adressed with the pronouns in the game is the character and not the player. The character can just be male or female and nothing else and therefore gets adressed accordingly. Why should the character be adressed with pronouns fitting (or not) the gender of the player when the player is never adressed by them?

Heck, in Japanese this is even more prominent since referring to someone like this is more common than using he/her. It's honestly only the German and French versions that are explicit in regards to pronouns because gendered language
I think they use such terms in voiced cutscenes because they can't call the character by their name.
