I just find that weird then. I just don’t know, a bad moral isn’t enough to make me enjoy an episode less. Especially not to the point how you’ve changed on Somepony to Watch Over Me. I like Friendship is Magic because it’s usually a bit of a jack-of-all-trades on almost all things. And even when one of those trades fall short of the quality we usually get from the show, I can appreciate most of the rest. I don’t watch the show for the morals, a good moral is just icing on the cake. I watch it to be entertained, and for the characters. A bad moral might spoil some things about an episode but if I’m entertained, then I’m satisfied.
If you asked me which I’d rather watch between Somepony to Watch Over Me & Apple Family Reunion. I’d pick Somepony to Watch Over Me because it was actually somewhat entertaining. Cause I found Apple Family Reunion boring. And regardless of how good the moral might of been or how it didn’t really harm anyone’s character. I just feel an episode that at some level is bad, but ultimately some entertainment worth is better then an episode that for the most part is soundly good but doesn’t entertain you at almost any level. My least favorite episodes of the series has the worst of both, bad elements of the episode and not entertaining overall. Which Look Before You Sleep (Least fav of Season 1), Mysterious Mare-Do-Well (Least fav of Season 2), Spike at Your Service (Least fav of Season 3), and Rainbow Falls (Least fav of Season 4) all have that in common.

Also, I actually didn't hate Somepony to Watch Over Me the first time I've watched it, in fact I used to enjoy it overall. Yet when I found out about what Josh Scorcher and Silver Quill had said about the episode, I realized that they both have made a legitimately good point that the episode's message is what ruined it overall, since the first time I watched it I didn't really know what the message of the episode was, so when I got to watch it again, I finally understood where they came from.
