I does feel like they're showcasing more on these other characters, is that they don't want to repeat the same lessons with the mane 6. It did kind of reared it's ugly head in 28 Pranks later in which there were regressions. While i do think that characters like Applejack and Fluttershy have a lot left in the tank when it comes to story, i think having secondary characters, with having the Mane 6 as a supporting role for them is good for both sides.
I honestly think we're seeing these characters like Starlight, Trixie, Maud, Flurry Heart, and possibly others in the future, is that they're setting up either something big for the finale, or creating a new story for the "New Generation of ponies" or a new "Legacy" type story.
Flurry Heart: Legacy of Shining And Cadence
Starlight Glimmer: Legacy Of Twilight Sparkle
Trixie And Moondancer: Legacy Of Luna
And if you want to have fun with add Sunset Shimmer into the mix: Legacy Of The Celestia (Sun)
And the Mane 6:
Maud: Legacy Of Pinkie Pie
Scootaloo: Legacy Of Rainbow Dash
Sweetie Belle: Legacy Of Rarity
Applebloom: Legacy Of Applejack
Discord: Legacy Of Fluttershy
