As far as I know, Jen Hale and Mark Meer both recorded all romance-specific lines regardless of gender for ME1. So the VO files were there but BW picked and chose as to what to include in the final build.
It's funny because this doesn't appear to have been the case with ME2, where most of the romance-specific lines appeared gender-restricted with no indication of recording everything.
Seen some conspiracy theories about this, but never bet on malevolence if inexperience is an option. The Mass 1 tools were just not as sophisticated. Game tools don't suddenly exist, they are developed along with the games. I mean, Frostbite didn't even have a conversation editor before we got hold of it. For Mass 1 we were adapting our tools from previous games, and hadn't had to deal with player VO prior. So we didn't initially think to have a way to flag a player line as male or female Shep only, we could only print the whole thing to excel and manually make notes for the VO director, which wasn't always viable. Cost us thousands in recording time.
