I have to say, I'm so sick of the "Make everyone happy" mindset. A good author creates a character and gives them their own backstory, personality, preferences, sexuality, etc. Then that person becomes a living, breathing, more relatable, realistic character.
The trend these days, gosh I sound old, that people want to have characters moldable so they can fit every player's mold does cheapen the experience. It makes the character no longer a realistic person and therefore no longer as relatable.
So yes, I would be disappointed in this game if I liked a certain female character and was trying to romance her only to find out she was not heterosexual. However, if it fit her character and such, then by all means disappoint me.
Wyll is a good example. He strikes me as very heterosexual, and there are even story implications that he MAY have had a wife and kid... maybe... fan theory so not necessarily a spoiler, but I caught the implications on some playthroughs. Regardless, it is VERY weird to me, and feels so wrong, to have Wyll hit on my male MC... especially suddenly, all at once, on party night. Astarion, makes sense. Wyll? No. Gale is also weird. He had a relationship with a woman. So him suddenly wanting to romance a male MC is weird. Nothing about him strikes me as being bi-sexual. Not a single aspect of him.
