I don't think we have a problem with that, simply that you're (or Alvin is, anyway) being rather overbearing and almost rude in his comments to people about this.
Actually what it boils down to, from a societal perspective, is that whoever holds the orbitals wins the war. I don't think it was fully understood when StarLancer came out that all of this wonderful fighting is great from a game perspective. But from a reality check perspective, go read 'The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress' by Robert Heinlein. Then read 'Footfall' by Jerry Pournelle. You get to orbit, you have control of some asteroids, then it becomes GAME OVER for your enemies.
Kinetic Energy Weapons for the win.
The ONLY time you have to worry about ground combat is if you actually want the territory. Otherwise ... ker-splat.
