It’s too similar to p and b. And just look at this: thorn, thee, too vs: þorn, þee, Þoo
Plus, spelling “th” as two separate letters just has that aura that the half-mast p can only dream of.

Perhaps you should spearhead an initiative on turning existing letters into digraphs.
For example, ‘x’ should probably be ‘ks’. ‘w’ very much yearns to be ‘vv’, and ‘m’ looks like ‘nn’. ‘Y’ is obviously just ‘ie’. ‘q’ is a failed letter – make it ‘kh’ like in all the bad science fiction. In fact, all the harsh consonants like ‘k’, ‘t’ and ‘p’ should be digraphs: ‘gh’, ‘dh’ and ‘bh’.

i think english should clean up its vowel pronunciation first… ghoti-isms isn’t a thing in most languages

Sean Connery, is that you?
Funnily enough, x is often enough referred to as “iks” in my language (Croatian), and w is “duplo V” (double V) (but WWW is read as VVV).
Q, however, absolutely SLAPS as a letter.
