The MLP ponies are anthropomorphic, and the writers had the genius to put a lot of adult humour in a kiddie series and then actively market it to parents and kids alike, and that obviously hit the bullseye.
So it's not a surprising result that furries like it. Furries are influenced by global media trends just like any other group, just with a focus on anthropomorphic animals. I think in the mid-nineties, 25% would have identified as "The Lion King" fans, and in the 2000s, everyone was about pokemon.
