It's not a plot hole, it's just more evidence that Beth and Jerry are not together only because of an accidental pregnancy in high school.
In Rixty Minutes, C-500A, the dimension where Jerry was a famous actor and Beth was operating on people, Beth and Jerry still had feelings for each other. Beth never married, and she was still Jerry's one true love.
In MortyNight Run, Jerry meets Beth's husband Paul Fleishman at Jerryboree. "Infinite timelines, in some of them Beth remarries. Don't worry, I treat Beth very well, and I do not overstep my bounds with Morty. Every kid needs a dad, and there's no replacing you." So Paul's timeline doesn't appear to have a Summer, but does have a Morty, and Paul's phrasing also would suggest the other Pauls that he's met are always the husband after Jerry. Paul's existence also tells us that Jerry is exactly the type of guy Beth wants, since Paul is so much like Jerry he seems just as challenged in the Jerryboree activities designed to keep the Jerrys busy.
It stands to reason that in most dimensions in the central finite curve, most of the Beths and Jerrys got married and had at least one planned child: Morty.
Ooh, boy, what a waste of time! Get it? You know,'cause it's frozen?
