I don’t think it’s all that arbitrary. A bit, sure, but not fully. If i’d have to guess, it probably has to do with the cultural, social and biological relevance of sexual preference in bonding and maybe reproduction and all that.
Language tends to evolve to convey culturally relevant information. You know, like tu/vous or status/relationship distinctions in japanese or the amount of words there are for friendship in arabic.
My dear friend, my entire life is a losing cause. :)
