People complain that Sombra can't come back because he's dead, and if they announce on the commentary for ACW that Chrysalis is dead (comics aside) people will probably complain about that too. But really, main villains don't need to return past the two-parters any more than Monsters of the Week need to last more than one episode in Sailor Moon. Two-parter episodes have villains, and destroying one leaves an opening for a new one we might like even better.

However, there was only one villain who really needed to make a reappearance. One tied with another as best villain. One who was fun to have around, and one whose defeat, unlike Nightmare Moon and Sombra, wasn't permenent, or even a possibility of it like Chrysalis. Discord needed to return, because the Mane 6 wouldn't be around forever to keep the seal on him they needed something more permanent. Their only options were either showing a headless Discord statue, implying Celestia cut his head off to prevent his return, or bringing him back and reforming him. And now that he's good we can see him in later episodes now, I don't think that was meant to disappoint any atleast they killed the pure evil and more threatening Sombra. And Discord is voiced by our hero and defender, John de Lancie.
