I know I’m biased, being a native Finnish speaker and all, but I think it’s kinda delightful that (at least colloquially) we don’t even bother with separating pronouns by animacy.
While speakers of Indo-European languages get worked up over gendered pronouns, we’re like “lol everyone and everything is ‘it’, problem solved, time for beer”

As a native finn I agree. So much noise and so many impractical solutions for something that we have for all intents and purposes solved millenia ago.
