That'd be a really tired plot twist to employ. Also, our experiences with divine beings so far haven't shown them to be inherently worthier of power. The Goddess of Magic, if she really is a goddess, seems pretty okay. She also admits not to be omnipotent, which is a plus in her interactions and even considerate enough to tell Simon that he shouldn't try to communicate with her, otherwise he'd die. She also has the strange interaction with her succubus follower where she didn't answer the question about the Lustlord, indicating something was up with that.

Also it seems like the goddesses (The Mother, unnamed Zirantian goddess, the Goddess of Magic) might be on a cycle that limits how much they can interact with the mortal plane because they all seemed to gain influence among their mortal followers in the past couple of decades. Maybe it's a game or some form of one-upmanship that they do among themselves.
