In the film it seemed like Shining Armor was in total support of Cinch and Twilight seemed totally surprised to see him there, so maybe in this universe Twilight has been at least partially disowned by her family (or she disowned them) and so her lab and her research are her refuge from her family troubles. Total speculation of course, but it seems possible.
