Bisexual is, of course, the proper term, at least for anyone trying to roleplay and immerse in what's happening. Again, "playersexual" is just meta terminology that has nothing to do with immersion or roleplaying. There's no such thing in universe.

Ah, I see.

Yes, I'm more concerned with the immersion and role-playing than a term meant to explain a practical decision by the designers that clashes with the characters identities.

I mean, I've often thought maybe companions should react differently to the player based on Charisma too. In some games you can use it as a dump stat and drop it to ludicrously low levels and yet everyone you meet is so easily seduced, heh. In fact, in some games the player's Charisma can have a dramatic effect on NPC's attitudes and often does...but romance-able companions? Never! That's sacrilege! Again, companions being signposted as being there for the player's fantasies regardless of whether it makes sense in-game.
