Why can't Ryder be actually mean?
Okay, I was really glad when they said they'll get rid of the paragon-renegade system. It was too extreme, paragon easily got too high-and-mighty, and renegade sometimes turned into genocidal maniac....

Considering the relatively terrible narrative of this game, any 'alignment system' would have failed. I agree that the Paragon/Renegade system was too black and white, but at least it brought about some genuinely funny and memorable moments, and it was better than nothing at all which is what we have now with ME:A.
The writing for the Andromeda storyline is... pretty bad. People change their minds so easily (Krogan Overlord anyone?) and you can quite literally get away with murder (Drack's and Peebee's last loyalty missions come to mind) without facing any actual consequences for your actions. Be prepared to be stung hard in MEA2 or 3 I guess?
Overall though, an alignment system is irrelevant without good writing to back it up, and consequences to your actions.
