I don’t offhand see why. “Sapiosexual” hasn’t made it into the OED yet,
but it’s been around for about twenty years, and I, myself, can testify
the phenomenon is real enough.

Well if the OED only has 600,000 words in it, it is hardly the
definitive authority on the English language. Do I have to mention
James Nicoll and his 3,000,000 stolen words ?
https://www.oed.com/

However, the Urban Dictionary has seven pages of definitions.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Sapiosexual

And according to Merriam-Webster, the first known usage of Sapiosexual
was in 2004.

I suspect that it has come into the public's awareness through its use
by Sandra Bullock's character in the recent movie "The Lost City".

In my world, the word is established enough that it had time to become
unsalvageable (being interpreted as "I look down on less educated
people".)
