Gate is a Compulsion spell... as are Planar Ally, Planar Binding and Greater Planar Binding.
With this in mind, why is it that casters exclusively Gate creatures that match their own alignment?

It is really just a choice made by the team a while back. There isn't a perfect way to go about this the way they do it in PnP. Or if they can, it is a lot of work coding wise.

The idea is that it is harder to compel a different-align (good, neutral, evil) outsider. And often the good extremes would have little reason to call upon other creatures. So the reason it is that way is because it is a good compromise without the heavy coding.
