They don't want to try anything new in the movie that would make a big change, because it would make the show different in some way. For example; say there is someone who never saw the movie. The new season of MLP starts and they're wondering what happened to the characters. If any of the new characters shows up, they'll find it strange the original cast knows them. Normally when a new character appears, it's usually a first meeting in the show. That's why the moral is so straightforward and blanded; feel bad and get well. It's just like Equestria Girls. You can just skip them, and the ponies act like nothing happened. It no wonder they won't put Sunset Shimmer in an episode, or why they don't expand on the sirens in the Season 7 finale.
