Maybe at the time they were making Season 3, they had big plans for Twilight becoming an alicorn, plans that were not fully revealed in Magical Mystery Cure but will be in the 2-part Season 4 premier. And their plans were too big to cancel them because some of us didn't want Twilight to be an alicorn, which they probably realized upon reaction to Cadance being an alicorn, so to make up for it they bring back Discord and Trixie, two villains we wanted to see return, as well as canonizing the term "alicorn" which I think we came up with (correct me if I'm wrong)

Anyway, that's my theory, and no I don't know for sure
