Kara's books were cancelled because they didn't sell over 100,000 copies....
I don't think matrix had the same number problems....
Check the numbers....
I doubt PAD's Supergirl sold in the 100 range...
And Kara is not an original character, she was a SPIN OFF.
Spin offs are taken from the main concept to enrich it and to make more MONEY off it.
If the spin off fails to do either one or both it can be sacrifized for the betterment of the original concept.
And as for the twin thing, I didn't read Morrison's X-Men so I don't know how he justificed it, but the idea sounds good, so if the way she was introduced paid attention to what came before then there's no harm, no foul.
She Hulk, spider-woman, mary marvel (was not part of the original concept), Ms Marvel, (add more) all sidekicks, revamped versions are generally spinoffs. So they are all not part of the original concept. Things are created to give the writers and artists other toys to play with.
Why don't you write a straight superman series for 50+ issuesand I bet you and the readers get real bored...real quick.
Kara added to the history..she didn't subract. Superboy was superman..not a different person. i don't get the whole spinoff thing.
