To be fair, the counterargument to batponies is just as baseless. If Luna wanted to be loved and admired, why glamour up her guards to be scary? Why not use pegasi in the usual blue armor of nighttime guards at Canterlot? If I may present my own argument, they were chosen for being better fliers at night. There's also plenty of other equine races outside of the main three pony races. Changelings, Kirins, Crystal Ponies, Saddle Arabians. Bat Ponies would fit right in, and when you stack up that many of even those outsiders are diurnal, Having only 1 one of 6, give or take, of the equine races admiring your work would be plenty of reason for gratuitous resentment.
