She had just a little too much personality for that, and was far too overbearing on the ponies. This is their world, and she is a visitor. The relationship should have been the opposite with the ponies competent and protecting and guiding Megan through a world filled with wonders and terrors.
The thing about the "she's the proxy for the viewer thing" is that, first of all I don't think kids really need a proxy to imagine that they're best friends with the heroes.
Second, I think a lot of kids prefer to pretend that they're one of the ponies, not a human hanging out with the ponies. Like, dang, we go through our lives being human anyway, let's pretend we're something magical for a while, lol.
I think they had Megan and later Molly simply so they could sell dolls for the line, plain and simple. Lets remember that the SOLE purpose of vintage MLP cartoons was to sell product.

Just look at anyone's early fanfics, lol. I used to pretend I was BFF with the X-Men, but it never occurred to me to pretend I was Jubilee, the kid-appeal character.
Maybe you can just have Majesty come dispose of her and paradise estate and set up shop in the castle again...
Despite the haters, I will always like Meganhttp://foxspotted.deviantart.com/art/Saying-Goodbye-192930324
I actually really loved the dolls as a kid but NEVER liked the Megan cartoon character. She was so bossy and SUCH a know it all. Way worse than I was at that age (lol). I didn't like Molly either since she was such a crybaby. But again, I loved her doll...
