I think the original reason was for neopronouns, or pronouns that were recently invented. At some point there was quite a push to have a dedicated gender neutral singular (I believe it was ze/zir/zir/zirs/zirself) and so people who were using those pronouns listed them all out so people would know all the different forms.

But with “he” one can be assumed to know it, and I find it looking rather weird to state it. It's as though one put “Argentinian/Argentinians” in one's profile. — yes, I happen to know what the plural of “Argentinian” is.
