It's obvious that it was decided that companions are NPCs that are specifically programmed for their job and are completely unrelated to the world they are found in. Sure, they do have their special locations that were only created for us to encounter our future companions, but that has nothing to do with the zone they are found in. So asking for existing NPCs to be doubled as companions is most likely a bit pointless.
That's why I'm not asking for Eveli or Gabrielle Benele as future companions (hopefully only after a complete overhaul of the super-annoying leveling and rapport system!).
Of course we might get Miss Generic Woodelf or Madame Standard Breton at some point.
Existing NPCs might show up as pieces of furniture for us to buy in the crown store, though. There have been a couple of them already.

They are pro-murder and ironically some of the most polite and charismatic characters in the Elder Scrolls series despite their profession. I was kinda sad when Veezara and another shadowscale from ESO were killed; such likeable characters.

Companions. Scourge of the ESO locations and frames per second. An RP gimmic adding nothing but lag to the game. One of the biggest failures of ESO in years. Instead of bringing quality impovements, you got a max 4k dps NPC which hardly is ever useful and on top of that removes all the mobs from your AOE. Gooodaaajooooobaaaaa.

Would almost all of these be lore-breaking as companions? Yes.
Do I care? Not even the slightest. (I mean, if you're playing ESO, where you can do all kinds of things out of order whether you mean to or not, you kinda already have to be willing to turn a blind eye to potentially busting up the lore.)
