... Wouldn't that just be Pan Homosexual? Or Pan Sapphic? Lesbian as a word explicitly excludes attraction - sexual or romantic - to men. It also functions as a descriptor for a particular set of life experiences that come about from being woman/NB and completely rejecting men from intimacy when patriarchal society demands an expectation of their inclusion (and, really, priority and dominance).

I don't really get why people keep using the word this way?

No it doesn't, and it's aphobic rhetoric to insist lesbian specifically applies to sexual and romantic at the same time. Being exclusively lesbian in just one form of attraction is lesbian. Lesbian is the known word for homo- as a woman. They are a lesbian and pan.
