Especially because with fan stuff, you have no obligation to stick to being like TV-Y, beyond your whims, and no 22/44 minute limitation.
Just the nature of it.
And come to think of it, speaking of that topic, to be entirely fair, the main series definitely wasn't a stranger to having SoL stuff that didn't affect much in the end. (did Ponyville stay destroyed by Parasprites? hmm... no, no it didn't)
