And, hmmm, interesting that you mention the difference in groundwork required. It's true that even for a character with a canonical straight love interest / history you can write them as bi with very little groundwork involved. (A paragraph here, a musing mention there and it's accepted. Those very long figuring out I might be gay stories are much rarer now.) I hadn't noticed that shift happen.
