Purgatory is a much worse champion than Medusa currently
True, all Medusa really needed was a small tune up to her numbers or be released as a 7* for the higher base stats. But the buff will make her better than ever
Purgatory’s kit is just more interesting and unique than Medusa’s, and I’m always partial to those things. The class soul abilities, non-special power consumption, and her cool bleed immunity synergy for dimensional beings is just much more eye-catching than Medusa’s comparatively generic bleed and armor breaks.

Not to mention she does have some cool utility such as a passive Slow, block regen like Sorcerer Supreme, etc. But the problem is currently pre buff, she can't access those that easily.
Tigers gets by as one of the best Serpent counters in bgs off of the same 100% neutralize. Wiccan did similar in bg metas that gave him extra ramp like that extend one a few months ago. It’s not guaranteed to bypass death immunity but it’s good enough odds given the circumstances. Purgatory could slot in as a Serpent “answer” just like them as long as her damage is good (having big damage off a degen debuff that Serpent can’t reduce will help a lot) and she can build her neutralize fast enough without sacrificing that damage.

To add to your point, since Serpent is cosmic, she'll gain class soul ability that will nullify when filling a bar of power and if you have mutant class soul, she also power steal when Serpent active special, also regen through block with Mystic soul. All of those will make her a decent counter to Serpent.
Purgatory as Medusa was always good for what she was intended for but purgatory Just lacked compared to other mystics who did their job wayy better finally looks like she will have her own place now

Sure in questing or war if you run into a Serpent, but in BGs where there is only one fight, she can only access cosmic soul though, I think
