You're more right than you know.
Most studies show lesbians aren't even actually lesbians. Nearly a third of them DON'T even have sex with other women: https://micheleomara.com/often-lesbian-couples-sex/
76% of them seemed fine to NOT have sex at all.
So the very thing that defines them as lesbians (homosexual intercourse) is the one thing many of them don't actually engage in, and nearly half of them are fine not engaging in.
It circles back around to your point: if so many of them aren't in a relationship with another woman for the sex, then they're literally in it at the exclusion of men. In fact, a sex-less relationship is simply companionship, and it brings rise to the question, why CAN'T they be companions with men if they already aren't having sex with other women?
But a lot of this goes back to childhood abuse, trauma, or some other psychological issue they suffer from, according to most studies: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/45364441_Childhood_Abuse_and_Mental_Health_Indicators_Among_Ethnically_Diverse_Lesbian_Gay_and_Bisexual_Adults
