Your logic is backwards. Usually speaking, a weapon is specifically banned because it's considered to be too powerful. By the way, just because a weapon has been banned by treaty, that doesn't mean that countries can't use them.

Not entirely. Realism a relative scale, and it's one that isn't all that hard to measure. Mobile Suit Gundam may be the most realistic of the UC TV shows, but it's still got the monster-of-the-week mobile armors and the psychic warriors. Whether it's more realistic than Wing is very much subject to question.

That's why it's important to establish metrics on how to measure the relative realism of the shows.

The relative realism of a show is not entirely a question of preference. How one reacts to a particular portrayal is.
As a point of order, it's important to note that opinions aren't necessarily equally valid.

That isn't true at all. They may have had their uses tactically, but strategically speaking, they were relatively insignificant.
