I may be over-speculating here, but I imagine that one of the reasons they avoid the actual specific mention of death is the next question would then be religion as they found themselves forced to either canonize some form of Equestrian deity and afterlife or alternatively the fact that such things don't exist and lifeless ponies simply feed the worms. I imagine they would go with the first option, but still that would leave them on a slippery slope of creating things that hopefully no viewers would find offensive. Better just not to say the "D" word at all since the obvious implication has always been that they are dead anyway. That way religious viewers can imagine them in whatever afterlife they believe in and nobody gets offended.
