Is that polite though? I get that it isn’t explicitly rude but I pretty much only use that phrase as short hand for “why are you talking about this you fucking weirdo?” I think it’s subtly rude at best.
If a team lead, sight unseen, just tells you their sexual preference without any context or follow-up then yeah that’s fucking weird and they’re a weirdo.
Shrug is the only correct response at work. Or maybe “that’s nice” to be more polite.
Or “noted” or just “ok”

Yeah definitely, just saying I’m not sure polite is the right label for a response with that kind of subtext.
