Do you have a link? Not that I doubt you, but my own experience as well as the 2022 Pew study I just linked in my previous post do not agree with that at all.
I mean for sure you have more options than either gay or straight, but I think 10% is a massive undercount -- that's the numbers they came up with in the 90s back when everyone was in the closet. Recent studies show that nearly twice as many men are single vs women, in large part because women are dating each other (https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/3868557-most-young-men-are-single-most-young-women-are-not/#:~:text=As of 2022, Pew Research,whopping 63 percent of men.)
I dunno about the numbers thing, I'm a straight man and nearly every partner I've had has been bi.. I'd think they'd have little trouble finding each other??
I can buy the compulsive heteronormativity angle though. Marry a man, have a few kids to make your mom happy and all that.

I mean, all the reasons you mentioned fit into the heteronormative pressures, which I affirmed as a common reason.
People can be with whoever they want for whatever reason, but I don't think there's any shortage of bi women out there. A quick google search indicates it's roughly 25% for zoomer women identify somewhere under the LGBTQ umbrella (https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/03/10/gen-z-women-straight-bisexual-survey/).
I'd love to think my experience indicates I'm some sort of magnet for bi women, but I think it's more likely there's just a lot of them.
