Actually, the point of the story is not about the yaks but about the ponies having it all wrong and not being true to themselves instead of acknowledging their cultural differences.

You are 100% correct when you say "You're in Equestria, not Yakyakistan", but the ponies keep claiming otherwise!

The yaks never requested a "Yakyakistan show", it is the ponies who keep forcing their offensively flawed rendition of Yakyakistan upon the yaks, constantly pretending to understand the yak culture and claiming to make "authentic" yak products whereas they cannot, need not and should not.

As soon as Pinkie Pie organizes a regular Ponyville-style welcome party, the yaks immediately behave and enjoy their stay.

If I organize a ridiculous show with ugly monkeys that make complete fools of themselves, and then heavily insist that the show is a totally accurate depiction of your wonderful family and your culture, will you honestly be happy about it? Even more so if you are a proud head of state? That's more or less what the ponies have been doing throughout the episode. The yaks aren't selfish; they are heavily offended (and "slightly" on the rough side, for sure).

Having said that, this episode surely isn't the best in my books either, though.
