I think that's the whole point of this episode, but I think that the true analogy is being missed in these comments. Remember, this is a show with a primary target audience of young girls. Getting cutie marks is a metaphor for puberty so this episode is to speak to girls afraid to go through that particular transformation of life. The message will most likely be that we indeed have no choice in the matter, but I imagine it will be delivered in a manner that makes it sound less arbitrary and like something to be looking forward to rather than fearing.
