I wonder if it's because they find it easier to find partners when they call themselves 'gay' or 'straight' than when they call themselves bi or pan?

Probably! My own brother, for instance, sometimes has sex with men and transwomen, but he still calls himself straight. Whether it's because he only seems to develop romantic attraction towards natal women or if he struggles with internalized homophobia (I know I do, and we're of the same upbringing), I don't know. I can well imagine some Kinsey scale 5 people wouldn't be keen to talk about their slight interest in the opposite sex if they're seeking a same-sex relationship. I hope more people realised that it's okay to be bisexual.
