Tactile Needs and God, He vs It.

Note the subtle deviation in pronunciation by english speakers for the word "Hashem" . Instead of people pronouncing it correctly as Hasheim (with a tzerei under the 'shin') which would then carry the meaning of "The Name" everyone pronounces it as "Hashem" with a segol (which doesn't then carry any meaning other than sounding like someone's name).

My opinion. Man's subconscious need for The Creator to be personified. Something we can touch. Something we can get our arms around. As humans we have such a difficult time with worshipping an entity of Prime Existence (י-ה-ו-ה), an 'it", that we go out of our way to make that "it" into a "he".

So whereas the Torah and Chazal were sensitive to describe the creator as an "it":
"The Holy One, Blessed is He הקדוש ברוך הוא", "The Name השם"

we go out of our way in our daily language to personify that Prime Existence as a "He"

e.g. "Hashem did this and Hakadosh Baruch Hu did that", to the point that every word for Prime Existence or The Creator becomes bastardized as a regular person's name: Hashem, God, Allah, Moe, Larry, Curly, etc

I never asked him his reason but I now really appreciate how R' Yosef Tendler in Ner Yisroel used to always say "The Kadosh Baruch Hu" and not the standard "HaKadosh Baruch Hu" like everyone else.

To be fair though, personification of The Creator as a "He" rather than an "It" may not be so far off the mark as you might think since in truth every "He" is a description of an existential "third-person" dimension that can't be accessed directly --(הוא (הויה
