What else could it be? When they killed Chrysalis, people denied it because they loved her so much they thought she survived. (Which led to pegasister Katie Cook bringing her back in the comics, explicitly showing her surviving the fall) They probably thought with the whole "Team Rocket" reference they didn't make it clear enough so they were more up front with Sombra. And people still thought he survived (until the opposite was confirmed) because they wanted him to. Which is pretty powerful coming from the same people who called him a "lame villain". After Chrysalis and Sombra, who were likely to exemplify that this show isn't too much of a "kid show" to do what G1 did to Tirek and Lavan, they must have realized "The fans don't want this" so they reformed Discord and Sunset Shimmer, both of which were poorly received (until their return in Season 4 and Rainbow Rocks, respectively), after which they imprisoned Tirek (though giving us the freedom to say in our headcanon they killed him, coz he's imprisoned in hell after the Mane 6 blasted him there), and de-powered the Dazzlings without redeeming or even imprisoning them.

Two coincidences in a row like this is harder to believe than twitchy tails that predict the future.

@AwesomeLuna That giant alicorn apparition wasn't present when they used Rainbow Power on Tirek, plus there was an extra user of the Rainbow Power this time, so there's no telling what it could have done before we saw it.
