One major themes of the show is group activity, by only having one or two primary characters this idea is subverted. The point of the mane 6 is to do things as the mane 6 and not focus entirely on a single critter as the whole single protagonist idea treads on the toes of the friendship is magic idea.

Sure Spike can be the focus of an episode, but we already have a couple of them; he does have plenty of space for character  development  and I wouldn't mind seeing more of that.
