Alicorns. What are they. Why are we all angry if Twilight is made one? We've seen how they are in the fandom, but what about the show?

In the fandom, they are considered gods, dieties, divine beings.

In the show, all that can be confirmed is that Alicorns are extremely powerful.

We have let he fandom shaped our minds, perhaps alicorns do not function how we believe they do.

Twilight is- like alicorns- strong in the art of magic, but is she as powerful as them. Most would answer no, for alicorns are divine beings. This is, however, their definition in the fandom. Is it possible that Twilight is powerful enough to be an alicorn, although still not as powerful as Celestia and Luna? Perhaps an alicorn is a sign of prestige, not divinity. In which case, Twilight could be made an alicorn.

Similarly, she could also deny the offer.

Is it not possible that she is made an alicorn in the season finale, but at the end of the episode, she chooses her friends over royalty? This is a reasonable assumption. After all, then HASBRO could sell alicorn Twilight toys without changing the show, because by the end of the finale, all reverts back to normality.
