It will soon be ready! It will be an extended version of "Morgana's reasons" but it takes long because I want to make sure I do not exclude any parameters...

Well, from what we know, Uther is a tyrrant. He too has mentioned that even before the Great Purge, Gorlois always challenged him when he was at fault, like how a good friend should. That means that, even before his wife's death, Uther was far from the perfect king. In addition, conquering a kingdom always requires some blood to be spilled. Now, if he just won it on a tournament or something, then I guess that Uther could do it in the peaceful way.

I agree that if it was not for Ygraine's death, Uther could have become similar to Arthur. Well, if Morgana did not meet Morgause, was accepted by her father and had a good mentor like Merlin did, then I guess she too could have become anothr Merlin. However we cannot be sure with assumptions either. If Ygraine's death did not occur, the destiny had been foretold, so Uther would always become a tyrrant who despises sorcery, Morgana would always become this witch who desires the throne and Arthur would always become the king destined to unite the five kingdoms!
