Did anyone want to know about romantic orientation? I mean, if that's something people are interested in then sure, let's add a question for it, but I don't think that's a problem with a question about sexual orientation.
That's a problem with any kind of discrete categorization of sexual orientation, nothing to do with confusing it with romantic orientation. You could argue for e.g. Kinsey scale (adjusted to include asexuality at similar precision) rather than the four choices we have, but there will always be edge cases.
I think most people don't realize that sexual and romantic orientation even can be distinct, so if there's a question about "sexual orientation", one never knows what's actually meant - sexual orientation, romantic orientation, or both - unless it's explicitly specified.
