Hasn't the canon of Alicorns been compleatly wrecked by The Crystalling now?

Not only is there apparently no Earth pony part (groan...) but Celestia and Luna aren't even natural Alicorns? This messes up almost everything we've been told about them in the past and undermines there uniqueness. Alicorns are just Pegasus and Unicorn now, meaning that Equestria should be swamped in them because of any Pegasus/Unicorn pairings.Why do Alicorns represent Earth ponies too in Equestria if they're not even part Earth pony?

Why is their magic stronger than normal Unicorns if they're also half Pegasus? That makes no sense.

Princess Flurry Heart shouldn't even be a Princess because in the very same episode it's explicitly stated that Princesses have their wings gifted to them, not born with them. Not only does Flurry Heart not deserve her title, but she shouldn't even be able to do much if any magic when she's half (groan...) Pegasus.

Also, Cadance didn't even speak up about how she used to be a Pegasus before when the others mentioned about wings being gifted. That surely means her backstory is messed up now too because a horn probably can't be gifted since it wasn't mentioned, only wings? Only Unicorns can become Alicorns now, oh wait, my mistake, Pegasus-Unicorns.

Flurry Heart is also the first Alicorn naturally born? ''What? ''That doesn't even make any sense since any old Unicorn and Pegasus pairing can create an Alicorn now. That clearly conflicts with everything since we have seen ponies of all races being capable of interbreeding.

I know exactly why this happened. Because toy sales were more important than making sense and not dumbing it down. This doesn't only conflict with the comics, but with other elements of the show too, including the Cake twins as well.

Sorry if I seem overly emotional, but that's only because I am pretty shocked at this development. MLP is often praised for its attention to detail, but this trainwreck was not good enough. I'll just pretend "The Crystalling" never happened.
