I get the feeling that they got scared off of the concept by the backlash about it after EG1, and aren't invested enough in the idea of mane six romance to go for it despite that (unlike say, alicorn Twilight or redeemed Starlight Glimmer).
Honestly, given the way that romance subplots have a bad tendency to take over stories when introduced, I don't think any romance with main characters would be a good idea, except maybe as an epilogue type thing.
