I never said Celestia was completely in the right, she has guilt for a reason. I also love Luna. The point is that idolizing either character as "the pure one" and shitting all over the other one is stupid, and the banishment did happen for a reason. Celestia's not just a scumbag who did it because she felt like it.
Also, dude, she wasn't banished until she literally went nuts and started attacking the kingdom. Celestia even got /shot/ with a generic magic missile. Though it may have been her fault for letting her relationship with her sister be neglected up to that point, she didn't just go "LOL gtfo you can't have the moon out for longer than normal" and banish her on the spot because she felt like it. Luna basically declared war and literally said she wanted eternal night, and her behavior didn't suggest things would be very good at all for their people or her sister. Who knows what she would have done with Celestia had she won, but it's heavily implied she was going to be a tyrant ruler **at least** to some degree.
There is also no indication that she purposefully fucked around instead of trying to find a way to cure Luna. Fans can interpret that way, but that's obviously not what the show tries to paint Celestia's character to be. If anything you could argue she spent a thousand years, building up magical friendship schools and teaching ponies, **trying to create the mane six** so she could save her sister. Celestia used the elements to banish Luna only as a last resort because she failed to make the situation any better, and normally she wasn't the true bearer of them all to begin with. She embodied half while Luna embodied the other, previously when they defeated Discord. So that could be evidence to suggest that she herself could not "use the true power of friendship" to fix everything and make Luna better, only being able to misuse the elements to create a temporary solution.
You could realistically argue that surely it shouldn't have taken her a thousand years to fix this, but eh, some things could be chalked up to logic holes and cheap writing. The show isn't perfect, especially the pilot which I feel is probably the worst part of the entire series despite being the most important. For its target audience, the show didn't need to make perfect sense - it's not House MD or Breaking Bad. The show just needed to have the story start out in a way that the whole Luna thing was long enough ago to be mysterious, and make the mane six all vastly important right off the bat, for them to do something that had never been done before. These things coming together give the show its basic plot and its purpose to exist, at the expense of some belinevitability if you really sit down and analyze it.
