I think it comes down to the vulnerability thing again (remember how Twilight specifically said she didn't know if Trixie was a good first friend for Starlight - since Trixie would be Starlight's first friend, since Sunburst, that she didn't make through Twilight/brainwash into an equality cult).

Plus it probably also had to do with making a good showing in front of Princess Celestia (and we all know how much Twilight cares about making a good showing in front of Princess Celestia - see Lesson Zero for the most prominent example). She probably didn't feel that Trixie would look good in front of Celestia.
