It stops us from pursuing the wrong person. If I know a woman is straight, I won't waste my time flirting with her. Easy as that. Not that it stops some people, but most people are reasonable.

This, exactly. Words have clear meanings so that we can better communicate our needs to each other. For some reason, they want to make the words for sexual orientations an exception to that matter only to make our lives even harder 🙃
