The Tamriel Rebuilt project is already "doing justice" to the rest of mainland Morrowind, one piece at a time. The first 1/6th of the mainland has been released in a "very playable" beta form with plenty of side-quests and stuff to do and see. The second section is also available as a beta release, but still lacks quests. Quality is on par with the basic game, if not better in many respects, and the group of modders involved have stuck very strictly to the available lore wherever possible. In short, if you haven't seen it, go there RIGHT NOW. It's well worth checking out.
At this stage, there's no reason for Bethesda to "reinvent the wheel" (even if it's their wheel in the first place) and make the rest of the province, because it's already half-way done, and being done to standards that are fairly close to their own. I'd much rather see Bethesda put time, effort, and creativity into making another "unique environment" like Black Marsh, Elsweyr, or Valenwood than rehashing the same setting as before (especially since, according to the events of Infernal City, now there's even less to see).
