This is going to keep happening. It's a non-issue because legal paternity has already been established and that's all that anyone (Except the guy raising someone else's kid with a lying spouse) cares about.

There is this common and erroneous belief that humans are in aggregate somehow different from other primates. Casual bastardy has been a thing since before we climbed down from the trees. As long as children are something that 'just happens' some percentage of them are going to be raised unknowingly by men they are not related to.
