I think if you take any set of symbols and map each one to a unique binary sequence, you can then structure it as a binary tree.
In other words Morse didn’t have to be designed as a tree. The tree is just a data structure that fits any similar abstraction. You could probably do something similar with a multidimensional array (5D to include punctuation) but that’s much harder to illustrate.

Yes, but it is designed that way so that the most common letters take less dits and dad’s to encode. That reduces the overall work.
