But what you're doing isn't any better, or at least your method of saying it could be vastly improved. An undefined character is just that; it is equally valid to assume they are not heterosexual as it is to assume that they are. That validity isn't affected by how prevalent it is in fandom.
And if you look at the range of possible sexualities the character could be, complete heterosexuality is one small possibility on a whole spectrum. There's a logic that follows that complete heterosexuality should be outnumbered. True, much of media is heteronormative, upping the odds of that outcome significantly, but it doesn't make it definitive while the character is still undefined.
Which is kind of the problem with the secret itself. It's assuming slash is a fetish and therefore isn't as valid as het. Slash itself is no more exploitative than any other form of shipping.
