And on what grounds are they inseparable? Why do you think you can dismiss Doylist concerns with Watsonian reasoning?
There isn't a weighty, preexisting lore that forced the existence of magical girls dancing on giant mechs in Macross. They could have written a story without them, but chose not to. That's all there is to it. And having chosen to write about techno magical girls sharing a battlefield with giant mechs, they came up with in-story reasons for them to "make sense". As is normal. But - again - they could have chosen otherwise, and, rather than needing reasons for the absence of magical girls, we'd never have questioned it.
