Why can't they install the ECLSS for EM-1?

Because it hasn't been developed yet! NASA is only spending money when it is actually needed, to minimise the maximum money spent per year. I personally don't think that is a good plan, but that is the way things are.

The SLS may be able to survive as a cargo only launcher but a cargo only Orion will have too much competition. The Orion would not only be competing with the Dragon 2 and CST-100 but the Cygnus.
