Can someone explain why brands mix organic cotton with elastane? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of organic?

I see so many pants advertised as organic cotton. But so many of them are 97 or 98% organic cotton that is blended with synthetic fiber elastane. Shouldn't that disqualify the organic status of the garment?
