Nobody wants bad redemptions.
People want well develpoed redemptions.
Bad people turning good is one of the best motives we can find in books, movies and comics today.
Nobody wants a half-assed reformation a la Glimmer, even if she deserved it. People were afraid they'll get another one witih Chrysalis (almost happened). We've got a shitty reformation of Garble and nobody asked for it. We've got a shitty reformation of Ahuizotl, and he is the last villain that needed redemption.
Cozy, Tirek and Chrysalis were characters with the most development in the whole S9. You could see actual effort in writing them. Frenemies was subtle enough to make kids think "woah, why do they work together?", where the parents saw the moments of developing friendship between the trio. Chrysalis giving a hoof to Cozy or Tirek returning Chrysalis' energy were impossible when we met the villains for the first time.
The reason why they failed when they attacked for the first time was not understanding the meaning of friendship. They worked together and developed one. The elements blasted them with rainbow lazors and stripped from the undeserved powers, they didn't turn them into a stone statue. It was fucking Celestia, Luna and Discord, disposing tools that are not needed anymore.
That's why people are pissed. An unnecessary, shitty twist with no real logic behind it. It was created because Big Jim has mental problem and he wanted to take revenge on stupid bronies.
And you know what? There are people who still suck his micropenis and praise 9 finale.
