@Jykale,

You're still missing the essential point of Sunset's decision. She didn't want to go back to Equestria. In her mind, she had no place there.

The only reason she initially wanted to conquer because she thought that she was strong enough to lead but the Element of Magic exposed to her how vile was the stain on her soul that delusion created. Twilight had proven herself worthy of a crown so her one real motive - that someone have power in Equestria who is willing to act to defend it - was shown to not really be necessary.

She had been living in the human world for two-and-a-half years. I think it had become her home and she wasn't willing to give it up for a world from which she'd become somewhat disconnected.
