The thing is, had Morgana killed Guinevere, as she intended, she would have successfully averted the future she saw in her visions of Guinevere being crowned. Morgause's preference for elaborate plans arguably shattered Morgana's chances of success.

For example, when she had Merlin chained up in The Tears of Uther Pendragon, Part 1, she opted to leave him for the serkets to finish off and he was able to get away. Had she just killed him then and there, they could have conquered Camelot with Cenred's army and the skeletons.
