Well, there is a bit more thought put into the mechanics of Macross than with other mecha (even Gundam), and since Valkyries are one of the central appeals of the franchise people who enter Macross looking for mecha dogfighting action expect to see more of it, especially in the wake of Macross Plus that was pretty much Advanced Tactical Fighter: The Anime.
Basically it's just like people who like beef eating stew for the first time and liking it, then later seeing a stew with a lot more beef than normal, and then they expect that every stew cooked in the future should have more and more beef as well. However, it should be remembered that there are people like me who also like the stew to have lots of potatoes in it
