I think I heard somewhere in a pre release interview that the show isn't meant to be a yuri show, but there honestly isn't a heterosexual explanation for anything they've done so far.
You kinda confirmed it yourself already with the latter statement, but I wouldn’t take the words of an author/director/creator without a grain of salt. Yuri is niche and openly advertising a series as “yuri” can be detrimental for sales. Thus concepts such as “subtext” and “queer coding” exist, so we essentially get varying levels of yuri content without the label. Take nana for example, it is known as one of the most popular shoujo manga in japan, yet nana and hachi are gay as fuck
