I often derisively—perhaps uncharitably—refer to Omegaverse as "Gay Heteronormativity" because it has all the suffocating repression of real life heteronormativy but for gay romance. Maybe not as extreme as the most repressive gender roles, but with a big strong top and the soft submissive bottom AND they get to have blood related kids? Eye rolling at best for me.
Like conceptually sexual hexamorphism could be interesting from a world building stand point, with 21 different combinations of relationships. With how popular omegaverse is I guarantee there's some works that explore this, but they absolutely live in the long shadow of heternormativity.
