Thanks Mister Micawber.

Since we treat everyone as singular, I thought we have to use singular subject for it in tag questions.

Thanks for clarifying.

Everyone likes ice cream, don't they? -- That's the only reasonable tag. One more reason to accept 'they/them' as singular pronouns of indeterminate gender.
