Addressing the incest theme, and then saying that the mother is a step mother and that sisters are adoptive or dont have the same blood, is a way to soften the subject, is to try to play on both sides, you first please anyone who wants to content with theme incest, and then it pleases those who dont like the theme, saying that it was all a lie, and anyone who tries to please the Greeks and Trojans does not please anyone. In some countries or states / cities a relationship between adoptive siblings, or the son marrying the widow of the father who is considered to be a step mother ends up not having the same weight if he were the real mother. In several places relationship between adoptive siblings is even a taboo. The interesting part of games, especially erotic games, is to "experience" the forbidden in a controlled (virtual) environment that will not cause any serious harm to people's lives.This is probably more a problem with character/player perception. As a character, for all intends and purposes, she IS his mom. Maybe they are not blood related, but she's the woman that took care of him his whole life and acted like a mother, so for him pursuing a relationship with her would still be tabooish, same with Nat.
But as a player, we are not emotionally connected to her as MC is, so we might or might not consider it an incestuous relationship (I personally do, even if it's not by the book).
