I think she's the "nail" in this (you know, "for want of a nail"...).

Cozy was treated the way she was because Sunset wasn't present.

If Sunset was there, she would have insisted on reforming Cozy, trying to reach out to her with a heartfelt speech.

If the Mane Six pressed the issue of Cozy beingh sent to Tartarus, Sunset would have turned aghainst the Mane Six (probably saying something to the effect of "Twilight, you are acting no better than I did back at the Fall formal!").

Sunset represents forgiveness and empathy. She always tries to find the better way...and since Cozy is just a child, there had to be a better way.
