I may be misunderstanding that statement as an extreme, but it sounds like to me there's no matter of compromise, therefore no discussion. After all, if all I say is 'I want this, it's better, I don't care what you want this is all I want' then there's really nothing left to discuss. Superiority isn't even worth talking about since there's nothing to reach here other than looking for other people who feel the same way and mutually stroking epeens.

If Gunships ended wars, then everyone would be complaining that your character had no role in taking down the big bad. People would complain they didn't feel accomplished and felt robbed of their victory.
This game is written to make the player feel accomplished. They could have the dragons and gunships fly over Icecrown and blow up ICC, but that would be an anti-climactic ending. It's why you don't see that happening, and why the players are the ones who take on gods and demigods toe-to-toe rather than firing some spaceship lasers or riding on the backs of dragons.
