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 real romance wincluding the main character six would bhave a good chance of backfidring (even without taking fan backlash into account), except maybe as an epilogue type thing.
 
If they wanted to write about romance, it'd probably be better to limit it to side characters who only show up a couple times per season, like Big Mac and Sugar Belle.
