Okay! I'm assuming your op?
Obviously it's a contested issue, your friends are proof of that. Personally, I tend to go with the "bisexual still focuses on the gender binary" myself. It does make the names make more sense. I suppose part of my bias here is my introduction to the terms: i had two friends who identified as such, but unlike yours saw it as a distinct difference and agreed on the terms.
On the next one, the one telling her friend what to call herself is the big fucking idiot here. There could be many reasons your girl with a boyfriend doesn't want to have sex, none of which would necessarily be because of asexuality. She doesn't know what she's talking about. Even if she's right and this girl is an asexual heteroromantic, odds are good she doesn't know the one friend well enough to say that with any actual intimate knowledge to back it up.
I think the problem with demisexual is it screams "special snowflake" in a lot of the cases that you see it used. The problem it, it pretty much fails to fill in any actual niche; you could say "really really picky (insert other orientation here) and pretty much have the same thing.
The last friend might know they are attracted to something more but haven't found any real life examples of it yet. Though this could be a case of special snowflake labeling as well. Without knowing your friend I won't pass judgement too quickly, but some folks for whatever reason decide they can't be as mundane as plain old straight and start looking for something else.
There's no one right answer, of course, but if all else fails, go with the dictionary.
