Her introduction may have been delayed due to her "true form" mode being scrapped.

Much like many features leaked during that time, she was planned in advance.

If the cannon is destroyed, she will gain a grappling attack similar to the Patriarch's with her oversized left hand, will move faster, and begin using the claws on her right arm to damage you. Throughout the fight, the only ZEDs that will attack the player are the E.D.A.R. Upon destruction of the face guard, she will take more damage from that area. The Matriarch pilots a giant mech suit with 2 destroyable parts, the face guard, and the cannon on her left arm.
