"They" in this case is just referring to people in general. You could change "they" with "people" in that sentence and the meaning doesn't change
You'll see in a lot of English expressions that the general public or unspecified people are referred to as "they"

They is used in a rhetorical sense, “they” as in “society”. Like “People say you can’t change your parents”
