This is fiction, though. Basically what "@Alexlayer":/1547046#comment_6549307 and "@cloudkicker108":/1547046#comment_6547615 said. With some extra component of "@cheezedoodle":/1547046#comment_6547912 said. People can make art of Rarity's mane and it's cool and fun. Much less intense and such than Fluttershy almost dying. People aren't too interested in seeing Fluttershy looking horrible, they want to see Rarity looking great and in a shocking new way.
Cool and fun trumps sad and pitiful for the short term. You'll probably see more and deeper fics about Fluttershy, though.
It's like, if your best friend almost dies, you don't really feel like going and talking about that everywhere to everyone. But if a pretty pony got a cool punk mane, you feel much more like talking about that with everyone.
And they really didn't focus enough on her almost dying to make it really feelsy.
