There were a few reasons. One, some liberal media articles made a big deal out of it first, praising it for happen in during all the pride stuff. Two, the Arthur controversy just occurred, which unlike MLP did it in a way that was intended to shock audiences. Three, it's a series with a very deviant fandom that sexualizes everything with the characters, and they constantly ship mares with mares, so this could have been seen as fanservice. Really they should have done it with Lyra and Bon Bon, because at least then it would have seemed more natural in development, rather than have two characters added for the effect.
