In order to give people a chance to avoid being punished or to repent for their sins,  if they really "sinned"  (and in regard to the Triple Goddess I think it had always been right to not submit to her), it's necessary to give the people in question all options so that they can choose. When Uther leant of Morgana's powers, it was too late already. He gave up his fight on magic but was punished nevertheless. As a matter of fact, he was even punished before he did anything wrong since Morgana is older than Arthur. The Triple Goddess chose Igraine and knew exactly what would be the result, yet she directed this all, staring with Merlin's fate "since the dawn of time".

Arthur was blackmailed and threatened by the Triple Goddess, it's no wonder that he didn't submit. He didn't know all the facts, so no-one, not even a goddess can expect imperfect human beings to always do the "right thing" - and honestly, submitting to a blackmailing, ruthless goddess who started this all would have been the wrong thing.

If she judged over Uther and Arthur alike before they even knew what was going on and while sending both of them to hell and back and making their lives a misery, it only proves what a ruthless and cruel goddess she is. In any case, submitting to her would have been treason on humanity and ethics. Whether it was intended or not, The Disir only proved the cruelty and sadism of the Old Religion led by the Triple Goddess.
