1. In earlier version of EA there were racial tags for Aasimar so clearly a desire among devs for playable Aasimar

2. Aasimar aren't a monster race like Goblins, there are no Aasimar monster stats in 5e, it's a straight up PC race. They aren't going to build all those race mechanics and graphics for 2 NPCs only, they will use them for player characters.
a lot of the tags get removed later without any update(unlike dragonborn half-orc, they get updated). you really shouldn't rely on early datamined materials that much. also making unique assets 1-2 characters still does not guarantee that's accessible for players. really shouldn't get your false hope on something they did not announce officially.

In isolation agreed, but it's in a broader context of evidence.
