That's pretty much a "In My Universe" thing.  Plainly it isn't the case
in
the GZGVerse, in Falkenberg's Legion, etc.  And in some universes, I
suspect that they don't use airpower simply because the author hasn't
thought of it.

Further, such an Ultra-Air Defense Environment doesn't necessarily apply
over the whole universe.  In the GZGverse, sending in airborne troops to
attack London would probably be pointless--you assume the NAC has enough
HEL batteries to knock down any troop carrier that gets close.	That
doesn't mean an occasional frisbee-sized stealth recon drone at 10,000
meters won't get through.  And it doesn't mean that a minor NAC
installation on a planet 10 parsecs away has the same level of defenses.
