Excellent points.
As far as the strap-on thing, I have known many str8 men who love for the girls to use a strap-on on them but they have no attraction at all to another man and no desire to have a real cock.
So I firmly hold the belief that a str8 man can full enjoy that and still be str8.
Here's the thing, I think, about your point about strap-ons. If a woman wears a strap-on to anally penetrate a man, it is effectively a simulated male-on-male sexual act, even though the person who is wearing the strap-on is female. I think that means that the (male) recipient is fulfilling a male-on-male sexual desire, albeit by proxy and by simulation. I think that is tantamount to engaging in a male-on-male sexual fantasy, while at the same time enabling yourself to deny that you are in any way bisexual or that you have betrayed your need to see yourself as being straight.
If, purely as a technical argument, the person wearing the strap-on was male, would that also effectively mean the recipient was straight? As an aside, I am not even sure whether using the term "straight" in the context of such a discussion is even appropriate or helpful.
If the act was anal penetration with, say, an ordinary dildo or vibrator or anal massager, then I would be more confident in agreeing that the recipient was 'straight', and it wouldn't even matter if the person using it on them was male or female, or even just the recipient themselves. All that would be is an act of anal penetration/prostrate stimulation.
Put it another way. If the act in question involves the simulation of a male anally penetrating another male by wearing a facsimile of a cock and it is functionally used as if it was a substitute cock, then it is effectively a male-on-male sexual act. This is even true if the (male) recipient has rationalised in their own mind that being penetrated by a simulated cock is not a male-on-male sexual act. The fact that they do rationalise the act that way and have rationalised it that way is what is really interesting, really revealing.
Of course, in the context of a private, personal sexual act between two consenting adults, there is absolutely nothing wrong in this and it is nobody else's business. However, it might be interesting if the male in question was to allow himself to reappraise his own rationalisation of how they 'understand' what they are doing, and what sort of sexual being they might really be.
And if you are a male who just likes to be penetrated by a strap-on, while fully appreciating that what you are engaging in is a pseudo male-on-male sexual act without ever engaging in or wanting to engage in the real thing, then that too is perfectly acceptable. The nuances, variations and subtleties of people's sexual preferences and limitations is what makes the variety of the world what it is.
Being honest with yourself about yourself is what, in my humble opinion, is what matters. Most importantly it should matter most to you, rather than to others or wider society.
