I sincerely doubt Billy Graham, who has had very little to do with the running of the BGEA association in the last decade, had much to do with this. If anything the board removed it to avoid the sort of press it's getting for removing it now. They were trying to save face when their namesake had a friendly meeting with a guy that was part of what they considered a "cult."
The BGEA is run by his son Franklin, who is more hardline, and far more partisan politically, than his father.
Why would they put lists like this on the site without running it by him, though? The name of the organization is misleading.

Jesus, the man turns 94 years old next month. He's been in and out of the hospital, essentially on his deathbed, several times in the past year. I doubt he's ever been on the internet, let alone recently. The lists go on the site because as an interdenominational group they have to draw lines in the sand as to who they will and will not work with.
The name is not particularly misleading. I'm sure it'll keep the name when he passes away, which doesn't mean he's going to run it from beyond the grave. There's a museum named after him in Charlotte, I don't think he spends his time approving every item sold in the gift shop. He's retired.
