To first impartially address the original post: there is an entire staff of people involved with the production of this show. The direction it takes is hardly up to any single writer, and I think to believe so is a bit naive.

As for whether or not Starlight deserves to be or should be in the show, again impartially, I think it's also naive to think that any show, live-action or animated, can enjoy success for over half a decade without some form of progression in the story and development in the characters, including (but not limited to) the addition and development of new characters. Starlight Glimmer is a part of the show's growth, like her or not.
