They choose not to

What I've derived from their answer is that they are incapable of sexual or romantic feelings. Hence they call themselves aromantic / asexual.

But if they're capable and it's their conscious decision to be aro / asex - then it's another story.

I mean, if you want to get into it sure. But at the end of the day, different people like different things and we all live different lives. It's not a reason to feel sad for someone. It's not like they resent their lack of sexual or romantic feelings, that's just how they are.
