I think you are confusing the logic. I am not saying that since there is no evidence to suggest a choice, ergo it must be inherent. What I am saying is that scientists think it is inherent and are currently looking for compelling evidence on a candidate cause.
If you take any trait that is visually inconspicuous, e.g. kindness or mental health, you are going to get uncertainty. The vast majority of people that are depressed have a dopamine imbalance. Does every depressed person have a dopamine imbalance, no. Does every homosexual have the same candidate cause, no. Sexuality is a very complicated thing. One cannot pretend it is only biological factors with zero influence of social factors. However, this does remotely suggest that the average homosexual made an active choice to be one.
