So what, if anything, would distinguish those people who have that sort of attraction to the binary? Or is that where these emergent problems come from? That there is no longer a distinct term?

Edit: Oh and thank you for answering

It's the other way around. Bisexual used the be the catch-all term for anyone who was somewhere between gay and straight on the sexuality spectrum. there was really no need to have a special term for those who prefer only the binary like there is no special term for bisexuals who mostly prefer people of the same gender but not always.

The tendency to over-pigeonhole people is also fairly recent.

I'm not sure there's ever been a term that's totally distinct. People within the last handful of years may use bisexual to mean strictly within the binary, but I've honestly not run into that too much. (Like I can probably count the number of times on one hand that I have seen somebody say they used it specifically for that purpose.) I have run more into people who continue to use it because that is what they have always used, or that it's a more understood term in the mainstream.

It is more that people who use pansexual want to be specific, or, as others mentioned, sidestep the baggage that comes with the term bisexual. Somebody said very astutely that pansexual is not without baggage, it just has different baggage. (I have personally had very, very different responses from people within communities for queer women if I refer to myself as bisexual vs pansexual. If I never ever hear another "barsexual" comment it will be too soon.)
