I don’t remember it for straight but I definitely remember it for heterosexual, and abled. I think it’s not weird though, I think having so many examples proves it’s “normal” (ha!) It’s something about the updated language or discussions around it implying (or outright stating) that having not used it previously makes one morally wrong that gets people upset perhaps?
As an aside: I do think it’s reasonable to use the word “normal” when referring to a trait that, say, 90% of people share. It’s just that not having the trait shouldn’t be treated as bad, broken, or abnormal. For instance, it’s ok to think of being right-handed as normal or the default, just don’t treat being left-handed as bad or wrong.
