They’re not the Mane 6 characters which are constantly rereleased and they were only released once. In the early G4 days there was a better balance of non Mane 6 releases vs Mane 6 releases.
I believe it's because they weren't as popular in stores because most people just wanted the Mane 6 ponies rather than some ponies nobody knew anything about, and this led to them being more uncommon in the collecting community. Plus they stand out against all of the Mane 6 ponies

That said, FS Applejack was a mane6 character and was very much in demand since she was released in the first FS wave (2010? 2011?)... and then not released for many years later with the proper hair color. She would easily go for $70+ all day long till at least 2014 (but even then, that release had pink hair). Now her price has certainly plummeted because no demand.

So I guess it depends on the amount of releases.
I wonder how much of it is actual rarity, and how much of it is just being that one release. Like, are there just as many Twilight Sparkles with forelocks, or TaF Pinkie Pies (the CMM release I realize there's a lot that would count as that) as there are Honeybuzz?They are certainly considered "rare" because they were released about 7 years ago and are one-off releases, though.
Maybe most of them aren't rare as much as they are highly sought after?
An example for no rarity and being released once is Cherry Berry. Wasn't she not worth much when loose even before her pearlized release? Did being canon make her value less?
