Not at all, but first of he's not even poly right now. Secondly, poly wouldn't make sense if there's no one to be poly with. You're asking to have a mono path for him as well, but what's the difference if there's nobody else in the relationship anyway? And the second you add another companion, you'd be adding a mono companion into a poly relationship. Which wouldn't make sense, but it's what they tried right now.

And rewriting other companions to suddenly be okay with it would take too much time and effort. The only logical conclusion with their current romance arcs is that you bully them into accepting it. Choices are positive, but these choices need to make sense. If, for example, Halsin would work perfectly fine in an evil playthrough because 'suddenly' he cares about Goblins and hates Tieflings and the Druids just because you sided with the Goblins, that'd make no sense for his character. That's exactly what they tried here, but for romance instead.

I said that because close to nothing in his act 3 romance arc currently works out the way people want it to. This is included.

And you are completely free to have that opinion.
