The show's title has little to do with it, Seaswirl. Yes, the show's overarching theme is friendship, but since the conception stage, the focus has always been on Twilight and company. The majority of episodes have centered on them, and the majority of tie-in merchandise has centered on them. From an objective standpoint, it would make no sense to swap the main cast out for an entirely new character lineup.

For shows that don't have much of a continuing narrative or have a limited/close-ended narrative, this wouldn't be much of an issue because those characters are expected to followed for a short time. Example: Total Drama Island. But My Little Pony is an ongoing narrative with firmly established characters with firmly established stories and personalities. They've been followed for four seasons and two films.

If you're tired of them, that's fine -- we all lose interest in something eventually. It happens. But certainly you know that swapping out these characters for a new one and starting from scratch is an unrealistic expectation that nothing short of a separate series or reboot would satisfy.
