My understanding of the major libertarian groups in the US is that they side with the left on social issues like culture war, abortion, and secularism. They side with the right on economic issues like free markets. They like to make a 2D political compass to explain this difference. Insisting on placing them on an extreme on a 1D axis seems like an insistence on speaking in half-truths. At least they should be placed near the center yes. People tend to do this when they focus on narrow issues and ignore the rest. E.g. to someone who only cares about opposing gun control, a centrist who supports it is on the left in their eyes.
