well, it just makes sense for starters: she appeared in season 5 on two occasions, right? firstly, the episode with discord: from what we speculate, this is where she got the idea of time travel, which she used to her advantage in the finale secondly, the episode with twilight and moondancer: she learned that twilight has a vulnerable spot for friendship issues, and in this particular occasion, there was a character with an abandonment issue why would starlight have been in that episode if not to use that information for her own gain? and her 'backstory' is almost uncannily similar to Moondancer's. She may have used a similar event in her own life, major or not, to ween Twilight onto her side through empathy. But contrary to the show's 'canon', if this had been the plan, then it would have worked in starlight's favour completely. She didn't want to wipe out the entire population of equestria, so she consciously allowed that plan to 'fail', and used twilight's lack of punishment to her gain. instead of destroying twilight's past, why not destroy her future, right? and she can do that from the inside, as 'one of them'

besides, she hasn't apologised or answered for her crimes at all, and said crimes were based solely off of her own subconscious and relentless drive for her ideology, someone like that could not even possibly be redeemed in under two minutes that's just irresponsible writing
