It's extra weird because its the exact same thing she reported Lightning Dust for and she got kicked out for it.
I think the key difference between her and Lightning Dust (aside from how this stunt only ended up hurting Rainbow Dash, whereas that huge tornado the two of them whipped up nearly killed the other five of the Mane Six) is that she proved she's willing to acknowledge and learn from her mistakes. If someone's highly skilled but is also an utter shitbag then you ain't gonna want to keep that person around if you're the leader, but if you've got a skilled subordinate who is able to grow and mature then that's someone you want to have around.

Speaking of that badge, I thought it was a nice touch to have her cutie mark used to represent her there. That's something I've not really noticed much since the early seasons (particularly S1), where the saddlebags that the six of them owned all had decorative buckles resembling their marks. Babs Seed's letter in Bloom and Gloom also had her mark as part of her signature, but that's the only other example that immediately comes to mind.
