I don't get it. Why do some cishets see us as s porn category? And why are these same straights some of themost prejudiced people? For example why are us bis seen as threesome objects in the eyes of some people?

Things that are taboo excite people, and queerness is still fairly taboo in most of cishet society.

I think you read too far into things. Lesbian is the most common because a lot of men want to watch women without other men in the mix.

And I don't believe LGBT as a whole is fetishized as much as just lesbian for that specific reason. It's an easy one-term label that gets the "just women in the video" point across.
