If you think about it, Spike getting wings is not just a representation of his growth this generation but over the entire franchise.

1st gen-Aside from his debut Spike was completely useless, you could write him out of just about anything and it'd be the same story.

3rd gen-A jerk who tries to live out his dream of being a princess through someone else, he vanishes after his debut and I think only appears again once or twice.

Current-Spike's been a devisive character for most people, the writers often don't know what to do with him. We've seen him struggle, fall on his face over and over again, grow. Spike saved an empire twice, he's the one who technically saved Equestria by befriending Thorax. He's done more in just a few seasons then his counterparts had done in their entire lives. I'm happy for Spike, he earned those wings.
