Kevin told me on the phone that he chose the thicker neck profile so that the bolt-ons felt more familiar to what people already play. Altough last I knew the normal full builds with a thicker Denison neck or even basses will have a two piece neck to help with weight distribution. Not doing anything about the weight for a bolt-on is problematic. See the number of people who have flipped their builds on Reverb or complained about it elsewhere, such as the FB aluminum axes group. Using a thicker strap is a common "solution" for some.
I would have liked to see EGC offer thin bolt-on necks or hollowed out necks with the thicker profile he chose to use. If it costs more, then so be it. As it is now I cant help but feel like he jumped into the neck replacement game because there was a big enough demand and he could make some easy money fairly quick.
