I think a lot of these started showing up as a way for the LGBTQ+ to label themselves in a "if you're going to use labels, let me be clear and define myself" sort of way.
Differentiation also makes people feel special. Apparently there's a big rift between the Gays, Lesbians, and Bisexuals and the rest of the "spectrum". The first half find the other half really petty and annoying.
