Well, to be honest. How many romantic stories we have with nothing more than that as a focus? Compare it with the amount of medium-hard science fictions...In short it's easier to write about something you experienced or at least similar than writing about war and technology that (luckily) the advenced contries hardly experienced nowadays(I mean the war). Not to mention it's a fight between giant mechas...something that has hardly a relation with the modern battles. Only someone with the brains and/or serious euthnasm for mechas can write about it.
Now, it's seriously the minority of the fanfiction writers.
And anyways I think most of the fanfictions are more like "dream-acomplishments" than actual serious works.(like those shipping-centered works...although I found few interesting ones amongst them)
