From an atheist's point of view...best not kick a sleeping dog.

Then we can only expect to see arguments that ToE is flawed because it doesn't address the origin of life from atheists?

No. Not at all.

If it avoids the ultimate origin of life question then it implies it doesn't know where "life information" (e.g. DNA) came from. And it's on much firmer scientific ground. But gives IDers ammo.

Stein, according to reports, had Dawkins tied into knots on this very question.

As soon as you say "we don't know" in jumps God to fill the gap. For theists this is not a problem, but for atheists, it's a big problem.
