Even if that fine is 10% of their yearly revenue? I doubt it...

Grammatical genus is not the same as biological gender. Or do people that are biologically neither male nor female need a third plural form?

"Die" is always the plural article:

DAS Auto - DIE Autos / DER Baum - DIE Bäume / DIE Fliege - DIE Fliegen /

Because we already had a word for "computer" (literally: calculator) which had the male article so when we started using the English word "computer" we kept the article :)

Why not just use the generic plural form (Bürger) as people always have? It has always been used for mixed groups so why shouldnt it continue to? And sometimes it doesnt even work (eg. for "Bauer". The plurals would be "Bauern" and "Bäuerinnen".
