Why not? That's not how things work even in the realm of fiction. You can't just give someone a power or make someone a hero and be all like "royalty!" By that standard, Spike should be a prince because he found a way to stop himself from rampaging after being full grown and saved the Empire. Also, the return of Discord wasn't even fixed by Twilight, it was fixed by Fluttershy.

I have no doubts that she was building up to something, it's just that something wasn't really conveyed well or even all that natural. It was just poof princess at the last moment. She leaned in the magician field more than the royalty field. And just because she shows leadership, doesn't really mean that a character necessarily has to be royalty.

It isn't the malice towards royalty, it's that the thing felt contrived and forced with not enough breathing room or opportunities to build up onto it without just shoving her into the position. Even people who liked the idea and concept thought it could have been done better. And just so you know, no I don't think this will ruin the show, but they're gonna have to explain all of this better next season when it starts, otherwise I'm sure people aren't going to really buy this alicorn thing
