Neutral tieflings and aasimar are par for the course. Putting that alignment behind an award also means an evil tiefling or good aasimar can't apply to change their alignment in a meaningful way in game as character development comes along. The sourcebook Races of Faerun talks about how a large fraction of both end up good or evil for obvious societal reasons - but that is not their core alignment due to free will.
But putting neutrality behind a major is in my opinion too stifling for character generation and character development in game (going from good to neutral or evil to neutral).
Genasi, who typically are meant to be along the neutral axis (the druid alignment hops) are neither restricted to those hops as a basic template and they are also not restricted to clerics with "their element" as a domain. Which is inconsistent to their own lore and I see paladins among that population all the time.
Neutral tieflings/aasimar were literally the "normal option" previously.
