The elevation of Twilight makes her less relatable. It's harder to project yourself onto her because her problems are undermined because now she's royalty (For fixing a problem she set in motion, strangely...)

Oh, and what the hell?
Starswirl made so many spells he has an entire section devoted to him in the Royal Canterlot Library, including a spell that allows the user to travel through time, and he gets nothing, but Twilight finishes one spell he started to create, and she gets coronated?
Equestria might be a bit sexist

Well, she was probably nobility before her brother's wedding, what with the having princess/goddess as here personal teacher and quasidemigod as a foalsitter and probable family friend.

And on Starswirl, I'd say Twilight's mind was more plastic than his when it comes to things like achieving royal status and cosmic powers.
Think about it, Celestia said it was his LAST spell and that he didn't understand friendship like Twilight. Now, recall that Clover the Clever had Starswirl as a teacher in the time before Celestia and Luna's rule. This implies that Starswirl was an ancient Mage that had his whole life revolve around magic, like Twilight, but that he was a professional at it and was quite famous. Thus, it's safe to say he probably had friends, but they were more like scientific colleagues than buddies you go and drink cider with on a Friday night. As such he most likely only discussed magic, with magic users, in magic related settings for a long time.
So when his life's twilight (see what I did there?) drew close he started on his magnum opus. But it required knowledge on friendship's magic. He tried to use his understanding of friendship, but it didn't work and he was to old and set in his old "friends=superiors, colleagues, assistants and students" ways to change his viewpoint.
Then came Twilight, possibly endowed by the Element of Magic itself to understand the Magic of Friendship better than even Pinkie "Fourze" Pie. Every time she learned about friendship in any situation, she gained more knowledge than others would in that situation, as if she had an EXP. Multiplier active. Thus, when Celestia saw Twilight was ready to fulfill her destiny, she sent Twilight Starswirl's Last Spell.
