They aren't staying away from embracing it. The decision to drop alignments has more to do with allowing for more complex (and hidden) reputation effects, which is actually a pretty good idea, IMO.

In fact, they have explicitly stated that all companions available at the start of EA are evil, or neutral bordering on evil at best.

I beg to disagree. Based on what gains you reputation with these characters, almost all of them are eveil, albeit to varying degrees. Not just because they are each doing an evil master's biddig, and no, them wanting to break free of whoever's clutches is not a good enough excuse to label them as even neutral.
