Why would it be "obvious?" We hadn't seen an alicorn show signs of aging past their prime once, and they never went out of their way to explain why, in the show.
"They explicitly stated Discord is immortal" is not an argument for the lack thereof.
Whether you like it or not, it's not self-evident that they aren't ageless, and you have a better case for the opposite, when three out of five alicorns (thus meaning the majority) have shown no signs of aging past their prime (Luna is Celestia's younger sister, and Horse Play placed the timeline of Nightmare Moon probably at least one hundred years after Celestia first raised the sun ["The one-thousand, one-hundred, eleventh year anniversary of when you first raised the sun." - Twilight]... so unless she's just so much younger than Celestia, they were at least a century old when that happened, each, unless you'll move the goalposts by saying Luna_*obviously_* used age magic too), where other ponies have aged (Twilight's friends).
Now, do I consider them "gods?" No. They're closer to falling under "demigods," if anything, since they can presumably die, for one thing.
