Yes but it did come, and took place as the common usage. So much so that Ms. Is used to describe a woman both with and without reference to marital status.
I’m down with using Mrs. not to refer to marital status but imo just going with Ms. Is clearer and easier because of how deeply associated Mrs. Is with it.

That came later though, as in “I had dinner with the Mrs last night.”

That’s up to you, I much prefer Mrs. Ms. feels somehow condescending to me.
