I think they just wanted to have poly options (but not ones that would make romance scenes with the origin characters conflict with each other). Since Astarion and SH are both really popular, they decided to make them open to it. I agree that it seems kind of OOC for SH (at least without a little more development of the idea) and even Astarion (he actually doesn't enjoy the foursome even if his quest line is resolved, and is insecure that the PC may be going for Halsin because they are taking a break from physical intimacy).
