For Morgana any victory would be hollow. There was that interview with Katie McGrath saing she was too broken and needs much more than Camelot to feel happy or something. It is my belief that, by this stage, Morgana becoming Queen would be good for neither her nor Camelot but I don't think that she was emotionally capable of walking away from her fight for the throne. Once Morgause pushed her into sacrificing her, I think that there was no way that Morgana was going to stop until she was Queen, and perhaps Morgause knew that. Stopping would mean that she had killed her sister for nothing, that every hardship she endured was for nothing so she kept fighting, even when it was hurting her.

If she wanted to be a Queen, she and Odin successfully conquered Nemeth without breaking a sweat. I think that it was less a case of her wanting the throne and more a case of her wanting to take it from Uther, later Arthur.
