test with people of different background and orientations.

How are they different in biological background than any other human? I'll spend my time testing my product's a11y (because there is a lot of people who are blind, deaf, visually impaired or hearing impaired), but I don't care about your orientation. You can be an Apache Helicopter if you feel like it, but I don't see how it affects my product in any way (unless I'm asking for user's gender, so I can use "he/she/they").

I see your point. However, just like in the example I gave where female Drs were unable to use a Personal Assistance because it was tested with only male Drs or masculine voices, there can be some inherent difference people of different orientation depending on the product you're building.

But again, I see your point, we cannot test with people of all orientations. The key, I believe, is making an effort to cover at least 90% of the target audience.
