When you have a front an center character, you need a good match physically for it to get that come alive feel. There of course exceptions to this. Such as second or third teir characters. That's a good point, it makes sense that the change on the character shouldn't effect its core, especially if a succesfull one, with a solid backstory.

That did not apply on the Ancient One, or Ned Leeds. That's not being said that they don't have a backstory, but it simply doesn't work in the way the MCU is reinterpreting some character.

From the point of view of the Doctor Strange lore, Mordo is a pretty important character, but it made sense to change it from the comics simply because his origin story from the comics was pretty outdated.
