I think that would be darker than if they had vaporized them up front. Like King Sombra, they are the kind of villain who'd be expected to die in a Disney movie. This show's not too prissy to kill the most evil of villains. Even showing them simply turn to dust in a family-friendly way without any ageing (like Queen Beryl in Sailor Moon Crystal) could have been done.

And if you think it would still be too dark on account of them either being too attractive or less evil than Sombra (especially Sonata), maybe that's why they wouldn't show them turning to dust (though I think it's because, just like Discord, they considered the possibility of using them again)
