Celestia is not just a figure head, she and Princess Luna are the true rulers of Equestria, so both of them have legal things. In the Crystal Empire episodes, Celestia is seen with a bunch of papers and such. It is also worth mention that Princess Luna does very less things than Celestia, yet the fandom likes her. Now let's just look at the mayor threads:



 Nightmare Moon and Discord could only be stopped by the Elements of Harmony, which Celestia and Luna are not connected anymore, so it makes sense for her to leave these ones to the Mane 6.

 King Sombra was a test given by Celestia to Twilight. Not the best excuse but at least there is one.

 Now, to the things that she did, excluding legal affairs/ paperwork common with rulers:

 She had to stop a supposed infestation on another city.

 She tried to stop Queen Chrysalis. Not her fault that it was defeated because of the love of Shining Armor and Princess Cadance.

It was her idea to reform Discord, idea which she counted for Fluttershy, and apparently she was right, because Discord was reformed by Fluttershy.

She sent back all the friendship letters back for Twilight in order to help her defeat Discord.

She stopped the mass confusion started by Twilight in Lesson Zero.

And in the Wedding of Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, both she and Luna appeared to watch out the security of Canterlot as guardians.

An episode which shows her trying to gain the love of ponies, and appeared in someone’s dream that I cannot remember, and she watchs out Canterlot but she was absent from the whole Queen Chrysalis thing, which Celestia did not.

Even in the Wedding of Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, she only appeared in the wedding by the end, and she even said a something alike “What I missed?”.
