Because it was speculated that Rarity seeming possessed and using green magic would be Chrysalis, but it wasn't. No Chrysalis return, and when the episode first came on one person commented "Chrysalis is dead."

True, sending Tirek to Tartarus won't kill him. But killing Tirek would send him to Tartarus (which is another name for Hades/Hell in greek mythology). He got blasted there this time instead of being sent through a portal like he presumably was last time. The theory goes that the ones in cages in Tartarus are the dead ones. (it's not a very common theory though)
