Unless I misunderstand, the idea is that treesitter C-mode is supposed to be pretty-much a replacement for traditional c-mode, right? As in "In circumstances where I want to invoke the C-major-mode, I now want to invoke the one that uses treesitter?"

If so, shifting the interpretation of the `c-mode` symbol seems the right avenue to accomplish that goal.

No, Emacs has lots and lots of config variables and functions which depend on the exact mode used. So, if you switch the major mode, you also have to switch to other config variables and functions. And as far as I see it, c-ts-mode is far from being a drop in replacement for everyone that currently uses c-mode.
