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.

Yeah, it’s dumb, makes no sense, it’s harder to read, used nowhere else in english anymore, and is just one fella on here using it for, let’s say “reasons”. All your points are correct.
Still, I can’t hold it against them for using it. Variety is the spice of life, and it is an interesting thing to learn about… I just don’t support reviving it into mainstream. Just like the dinosaurs.
Your linguists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to consider whether they should.
