Starlight wasn't exactly evil, she totally missed what many had, and so in total misguidance tried to work against the cutie marks; that unmarking spell is absolutely odd, it was long regarded impossible to give or take a cutie mark through magic practitioning only.

Had she succeed without someone interfering, I don't think the Tree of Harmony, or the nature without the Tree, would had treated her well later on. Eventually total extinction.

Besides their specialities, the unmarked became largely useless: couldn't bake anything successfully (which begs the question: how are they living ?), hardly could trot, flying was even slower than trotting, can't buck a door down or even damage it. Not sure about magic, but seemingly unmarking placed a total operation ban.
