Ascended Astarion is the only LI in the game who cannot even be touched in any way in the epilogue.
It could also be - if you keep his select line in mind and the way the ascended kiss animations end - that he simply does not want to be touched. Just as a thought.
Maybe that's why Spawn Astarion wasn't added kissing in the epilogue? I have various headcanons on this topic. He doesn't like touching in public...

How does the narrative change from adding a hug animation to the only man for evil in the game with whom you can do a romance, which already matches one of the tav ally and lover lines in the epilogue? There were kisses with AA except for patch 6, then there was a Valentine's Day with fear of intimacy, but then the story was brought back according to the original script.
Man, idk look. The topic seems to be called “suggestions”, can I come to the Spawn thread and say “because of u companions now sympathize with Astarion, it shouldn't be like this, it spoils his story of redemption for the sins he's deserved”, “and now you are also asking for more kisses for Spawn, enough is enough, play as is”. "I beg you to stop trying rework and rewrite the character".
You may be thinking that with a gentle hug from AA, this story won't be what you think it should be. But Tav has a large number of phrases (other than breakup phrases) that are grounded and can be tied to kisses and hugs.
