> Why does it always have to be about sexual preference?

Because otherwise it's not a meaningful field. If you're just talking about interest in the sense of "I find people of this sex to be interesting", then 99.9% of people would select "both" and the other 0.1% would just be advertising their misogyny/misandry.

I used to be interested primarily in socializing with women. This had nothing to do with sex at the time, because my sex life at the time was nonexistent.
