I actually think it makes for a more interesting dynamic, especially if you consider that if it weren't for Mordred then Gawain would be secure in his place as Arthur's heir, so if Morgause is not the mother of Mordred you have interesting opportunities for power struggles between the sisters. Also a lot of it has to do with how you interpret Morgause's character as well

I actually find more often Morgause becomes the mother when you are truncating the family tree... because she HAS to exist as the mother of 5 sons already, whereas Morgan's role can be added to hers.
