I mean, possessives and reflexives do show up. E.g. 'it's theirs' or 'she bought it herself'. That being said, unless youre using pronouns people arent assumedly familiar with theres no point in including the possessive and reflexive forms.
Arguably the inclusion of the object form is just because people were using pronouns that required it to be listed, such as 'hir', and so when people using they, she, or he pronouns went to include them in a bio or something they copied what others were doing, which was more neopronoun oriented. Idk im not an internet history scholar or anything if someone else knows more do chime in.
Oh now thats interesting, like, ive seen (and used myself for a time (but not anymore)) she/they as shorthand for she/her or they/them, i.e. both are acceptable. Now Im very interested in the idea(s) behind she as the subject and they as the object (sorry my language brain is going ooh aah over new shiny language stuff)

I've seen the object form be relevant when it comes to (s)he/they which isn't neo, but still differentiating.
Thank you for your insight!
