Isn’t that reasonable though? If you’re a X-winger, isn’t the whole point that X-wing positions are in fact morally superior?
Morally superior perhaps, but they lack the hull plating and durability to survive ongoing combat and the offensive payload pales in comparison to what the Y-wing can deliver.
The Y-wing was an outdated piece of junk even by the Battle of Yvain; that’s why the Rebels had it at all. The X-wing’s proton torpedoes deliver the hurt when necessary (just ask Tarkin or Ysanne Isard), and if you want more than that, well, that’s what the B-wings are for… Between them and the A-wing, there is simply no role for Y-wings at any point—except cannon bait!

Shouldn’t that be spelled “canon bait”? Heh.
Well, by bringing in Isard, I make it both.
Ha!
