I don't think that's quite how it works.

Sunset could hypothetically ditch her friends and go back to Equestria, but the other girls still have their magic inside of them - and this movie goes to imply they can transform without necessarily being together or playing music. So... Magic is in human world, and maybe you just cannot get rid of it (unless you get rid of all the magic ponypeople and destroy any and all links to Equestria, maybe, but that's a little too grim now, isn't it?)

I mean, they already did in the RR shorts (and of course the movie), even when Twilight took back the crown - The Element of Magic - and there were no threats at the moment (the shorts, early in the movie, in Applejack's garage).
