But if evolution *did* (and it seems it did), why did it?... and why
hasn't it corrected the "defect" over time.  It would seem to me that it's
not a defect in the first place -- nothing to correct.

In natural (tribal) societies, it *must* have a raison d'etre... or I'd
think groups that included gays would have been decimated by those who
didn't.  Evolution or God, there must be a reason for it.
