Outside of competitive play (and to a lesser extent, IN competitive play), people will field ships they love even when it's not to their advantage, because they like the ship.

I fly the HWK very often and try a lot of combos with it, particularly with Kyle and Jan because I love Star Wars: Jedi Knight (particularly Dark Forces II).

But if someone loves a TIE Fighter or X-Wing, they're likely going to pick the new ones, because they look essentially the same, and are much much better.
