It makes perfect sense because it would allow to retrieve episode lists in different orders from a single endpoint and use the same code to process the retrieved information. For example, the TheTVDB API has a single endpoint for episode lists in different orders: https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/thetvdb/tvdb-api_v_4/4.2.8#/series/getSeriesEpisodes (they call order "season type"). The current implementation will require to write dedicated code to retrieve and process alternative lists.
Hmm, did you check the contents of the alternate episodes endpoint? The thing is that it's not exactly the same as for regular episodes, for example regular episodes have a URL and a main image while alternate episodes have not (but they do have a link to the underlying episode(s) that do).
