Plus they actually IMO needed that character in the series so Wanda could have someone to have those specific conversations. Sure they could have gone with any actor to avoid the misdirect, but that would have been way more boring. This was a pretty meta series, os having some meta nonsense fit the tone very well. IMO.
Plus obviously this stunt got a lot of attention which is what Disney wants, because they want this streaming stuff to be just as must-watch as the movies.
And of course I think they probably wanted to test the waters a bit and see how people react.
Personally, having recently re-watched the Fox films, I say it's mostly a pile of hot garbage in retrospect, and Marvel should just scrap it all and re-do all of those characters from scratch. Except for Deadpool and Negasonic Teenage Warhead obviously.
EDIT: Domino was a ton of fun too. They really should just let Ryan Reynolds do his thing, with better special effects and the occasional actual-MCU cameo.

It's pretty easy to trash on the Fox X-men universe, because it was all over the map in quality and for its association with Bryan Singer, but it had some really great components and movies.
Logan, DoFP, First Class, and X2, were all top notch IMO. I'll even go as far to say that Fastbender's Magneto is the best portrayal of any comic book character yet.
I do see the major challenge in integrating this universe, and taking all the bad crap with it. How do you pick and choose only the good stuff? I would agree that scrapping the Fox Universe is probably the best choice. I'd actually prefer that over having another "5 year gap" reality alteration.
It wouldn't be too hard to explain even, as the mutants in the MCU thus far have their powers magnified or caused by the infinity stones. You could have a few old school mutants, who don't reveal themselves to humanity. Then when they start testing on the stones in WWII it creates a bunch more. Then a lot more once the infinity war saga occurs. Enough that they come to the surface and become public. I would much prefer that over Dr. Strange/Wanda just merging the universes.
