If I said "physical attraction" (which I believe asexual people do experience) instead of sexual, would that fix it completely?
I'm not sure! "Asexual" is a pretty large umbrella term and I don't fully understand the range of variation in phenomenology of attraction.

I've never heard of a person who completely lacks any kind of attraction level difference between, say, a gangrenous homeless person and an everyday model. Even nonsexually, everyone has people they like being physically close to vs. ones they don't, right?

There are definitely people who don't like to be close to anyone. Beyond that... there's a distinction between appeal, lack of repulsion, and attraction I think? Someone can be aesthetically pleasing, you might not mind being close to them, but that doesn't mean you're attracted
