I suppose a lot of it deals down to the following. What is it that princesses do? At least from what we understand of the MLP-FIM universe.

From what we've seen, they are rather heavily involved in either acting as guardians ((See Candace and the crystal empire)) or entrenched in politics ((See Celestia.)) Intrigue and politics.

Neither of these make for a good basis for a cartoon show. For something like Game of Thrones it works as that setting is both dark and morbid, something that FIM tends not to be.

Again, it just feels more like a closing bow from the current crew and an opening to something else. We'll have to wait till season 4 to have any idea where they intend to go with this but I am rather suspect to the Mane 6 being relegated to the background.
