"The other thing that surprised me, in hindsight could’ve been predicted. We put in the evil and neutral NPC companions first, so there was a bit of backlash from people complaining that all the characters were so haughty and snarky, but it was really just those characters acting as their natural selves. I didn’t realise it would be such a thing, but in reality we just hadn’t put the good characters in yet. There’s a much wider variety, and hopefully it’ll settle down in time, but it’s interesting the conclusions people draw when there’s only a small selection."

To play the devil's advocate I don't think you should expect all of your players to also have read all the interviews, news articles and pre-release blogs/news posts before they start playing the game.
I don't really have a problem with the current companions' personalities, but I can see why they might turn some people off.
