I've seen a fair amount of lesbians being into yaoi, mostly due to lesbian stories being either simple wank material for dudes or downright lullabies. Finding anything lesbian that has a decent plot is really fucking hard, especially since women not being sweet unproblematic angels cancels your work in a second. Non-wanking stuff (and even some of it too) ends up being slice of life and always drags performative activism along, either by making someone a troon or bringing up relatable real-life female issues all the time. Because you can't read leisure literature without remembering womanly sufferings.yaoi's primary audience is straight women.
Animu bishies are basically females-lite in appearance anyway, sources tend to have at least some semblance of a plot, and if you still have some illusions about them being maybe men, then they're "safe" 'cause they're boning each other and aren't looking at women.
Also, being the designated accepted representation material gets tiring and results in said material being created as braindead as possible 90% of the time. Even Chinese censorship board tends to give a pass to canonical lesbos, which is telling.
