To a large part of the fanbase, Derpy's something of an icon. She's the unofficial brony mascot because, in a lot of ways, the fanbase itself created her (they gave her her name after all). And each of her appearances is a little nod to the fans from the animators. That's why a bunch of people are miffed over her absence in recent episodes.
