"Non-binary" is considered a gender, not a sexuality, so your chart is kind of irrelevant. There are transgenders, who believe they are a gender that they aren't, and then there are non-binaries, who believe they are a gender that doesn't exist.
You are correct. I misinterpreted the question (I'm not the best today). Although part of my answer about how younger people of this age may be sorting things out is true.
However, there is a similar chart related to genders... I don't have it handy because it did not apply to me or my wife. I do recall seeing it (for 6 months my wife and I read a lot of information on both genders and sexuality - most on sexuality), most of it from research papers or books on the subject by many decade long experts in the field.
Anytime someone tells me that they believe that there are only 2 genders... I shiver. In the mid 1960's I was taught about hermaphrodites at I believe the 7th grade level; and that there was a range between pure male and pure female. That was standard science information in Jr high level textbooks back then.
Hermaphrodites still have one gender, though. They have extra chromosomes, so by that definition they might not, but they still resemble and function as one gender more than they do the other, resulting in them being considered to be one of the genders (whichever is more applicable). Also, trans people are not hermaphrodites, and non-binary has nothing to do with hermaphrodites either.
Nine of my students in my elementary class came out as non binary and

Why don't people realize it now?
