One does not simply declare an OC bad.
 
I personally liked Nyx for example. And there are many who like Golden Ticket. And let’s not forget GrievousFan’s hilarious OC made as a one shot.
 
Yes, many are bad, but that’s because they slap wings and horn on a pony and say “LOVE ME!” No personality, no characterization, and we are supposed to love them because the author says so. It’s not the horn and wings that makes them bad. It’s that there’s nothing else but that.
 
Point is, OCs aren’t intantly bad because they have a “special trait” That seperates them from the crowd. By that definition, any character who is not a bland, cookie cutter copy (i.e. EVERYONE) is a Mary sue, and therefore terrible.
 
Best way to test for mary sue: Does the world revolve around them for no real reason? If yes, then they are a mary sue. If no, then they aren’t, and you can take your objections elsewhere.

The ponies had surrounded the small horned & winged filly, shouting expletives and pumping their torches and pitchforks up and down.
 
“You think you’re BETTER than us, huh!?”
 
“Ohh, little miss Princess-tier magic decided to show up in OUR town!”
 
“Lemme guess, you’re smarter and stronger than us too? Well, there’s power in numbers, you little BITCH!
 
The filly was terrified, her large eyes brimming with tears as she huddled inward and squeaked her response. “B-but… I-I… I don’t! I’m not! Mommy says my wings don’t work a-and-and ma-m-magic makes my head hurt a-and I’m barely getting by in school and—”
 
“SHUT UP, ALICORN SCUM!!”
 
The ponies shouted in a demonic chorus, bringing their pitchforks and torches down. The filly was impaled in every region thought possible, the wounds immediately burned shut and split back open by repeated stabbing and torching.
 
Her screams echoed endlessly throughout eternity.
 
Today, ponies can still hear them in the Everfree Forest… and they hope to the beings above that they are never so unfortunate as to be a parent of an alicorn foal.

Would the parents of Celestia and Luna be an exception if they’re given very little if any screentime and are more of a force that drives the story?

I’ll admit I once made a red and black pony in the pony creator. In my defense, he was a unicorn (not an alicorn), and he was a ponification of Stormbringer rather than an OC.

Let them make alicorns if they want. It’s not hurting anybody. The point of MLP is to have fun with magical, rainbow colored ponies.
