Its just dramatic portraying of what the public/directors think fighter jocks act like in a dog-fight aka Top Gun.
IRL, pilots would afflict a calm and low tone of voice, like they are ordering a beer on a nice day at the beach, even when they are down one engine and have 50 cal holes in their cockpit.

"54 Charlie to control, reporting 10 on fuel, 1 engine still on, and looking out the left window I see a lovely view of sky where my wing tip used to be. I am RTB, suggest having a first aid kit on stand by. Don't mind the whistling, thats just air coming through the open window."

And of course having a calm ops controller helps keeps the pilot calm in troubling situations too. No one likes hearing "oh shit" when they are trying to land a burning plane. It lets them down.
