I honestly think this is the most common scenario. Both people who self-describe as bi and pan will have varying preferences, and I think it’s typically more about audience and communication than any universally definable difference.
This is similar to how a binary bi or pan person who tends to date people of the same sex or gender might self-describe as gay; they’re not creating a binding contract when they do so, rather they’re providing an easily-digestible description of their sexual or romantic character to others.
How about pansexuals who just say bisexual because there is better chance that people will actually know what you’re talking about
(Just in casual conversation with strangers, obviously.)

Hi, that’s me.
Although even “pansexual” is a shortcut. I think my actual sexuality needs hyperbolic geometry to explain.
Ah, a Lobachevskysexual.
I think at this point I’ve seen far more people who identify as pansexual than bisexual.
literally me
yes
