people tend to read (and write) romance that features the gender(s) they are attracted to. on average they tend to be less interested in romance that doesn't. this isn't rocket science.
acting like the relative unpopularity of f/f in romance fiction and fanfic spaces is primarily or even exclusively a product of the readers' internalized misogyny and lesbophobia when a significant percentage of the readers in question are straight women, who are famously only attracted to men, is just. asinine!
