Personally, I think it's because the Mane Five are her first real friends ever and she wants to stay with them, just like Twilight Sparkle wanted to stay with her friends in Ponyville rather than return to Canterlot and continue her studies with Celestia.

Yes, she misses magic but she values her friendships more. I wonder if that's why she's looking at how the magical effects in EqG happen. If she can find a way to use magic in the HuMane world, it would be an ideal solution for her.
