It was more fear than shock, I think. They were afraid that the balance of the show would be disrupted in some way. Would Twilight be written out because she had become a Princess? Would the show unfairly focus on her adventures to the exclusion of all else? Would the character become too unreasonably perfect?

Mostly, I think it is the inherit human resistance to change.
