You can't complain the game was incomplete and at the same the say that all DLC doesn't have to be canon. If LoTSB is only canon if you play it, then so is whatever's in the EC. No difference. EC is optional (and free), so it's the same level as all other DLC. There's been story DLC since ME1's BDtS, so they're not doing anything new. If you don't play EC, it's non-canon for you.
