MMC was orginally intended to the series finale until it was renewed according to staff comments so they intended for it to wrap things up suggesting Twilight becoming a princess was their end goal. Just getting their bases covered in case the show was not renewed.

Remember that episode take awhile to come to fruition production wise so there was no way they could have known things would be different when the time came.

However thankfully this was not the case as now the show is able to explore some of the ramifcations of what happens afterwords, and I dare say the show is for the better because of it.

Second big reason is to sell more toys. Twilight and princesses both sell pretty well so why not combine the two and take advantge of their popularity.
