Lauren had specific goals in miind, artistic, political and thematic, for Friendship is Magic. I think that the more overtly 'teen girl at high-school' clichés of Equestria Girls would definitely feel like a dilution and a subversion of her vision for the characters and show.

FWIW, I don't consider EqG as part of Lauren's creation; the characters are similar but altered enough to be virtually fan AUs of the ponies. I would never consider her particularly responisble for or an authority on them in the same way I would the ponies.
