Arguably (and this is just semantics, I’m on your side), queer means to be outside the norm, or rather fighting against the norm. In the past, things were considered queer that are broadly accepted nowadays. In that sense, a very open society without rigid (gender) norms doesn’t have queer people. I know this isn’t the only plausible conception of the term so I don’t really disagree with you.
I understand your point, and that’s kind of the world I’d want to live in, but straight cis allo monogamous people will probably always be the majority, and so I think it may always take some level of vigilance to keep queer folks from being marginalized.
