You come the closest only when you're talking about someone playing something along the lines of 'true' neutral. 'Lawful' neutral and 'chaotic' neutral are completely different animals all together.
Your definition also does not mesh with any sort of depth to any decision. While a person might, on a metascale, prefer the status quo, decision by decision, in the heat of a moment, or even in planning for future events, decisions get made that could never be, as you are actually describing them, truly passive. A person could have a neutral outlook on life, but has a role/profession/situation that demands or rewards action and clear decisions. Such a person is not always tied down by ideas of good or only self-serving personal interest.
It's person who decides in the moment to do what he wants. This person can do good or evil acts, depending on how it benefits him. This isn't a neutral outlook. It's not like he's going to make sure he balances out his good acts with evil ones. He doesn't think like that.

I'm morally grey! Women love me, and men want to be like me. *NM*

It'd be pretty difficult to specifically reward you for being a 'gray' character. (Two games)

That's not so much an alignment as just metagaming the system.

of course, then you get into question of whether actions like that example are evil

That's actually a pretty narrow view of Neutral when it comes to Alignment or Morality.

they don't reward it because, for the most part, they don't want you taking a middle ground.

Neutrality is often boring or selfish. Good stories seldom have truly neutral protagonists. *NM*

There's a difference between doing "bad" things for a good purpose, and being neutral. *NM*
