That's a shame for fans of the Canon too. The X-Wing wasn't necessarily better than The Y-Wing and A-Wings. It was supposed to be more of an all-rounder. Like the Y-Wing had a ton of firepower and could tank a few more hits, but it was slow. Whereas the A-Wing had less durability, was harder to control and had lighter blaster cannons, but was lightning fast and only required a single pilot. The X-Wing was kinda the in between with good speed and good firepower, but neither of them up to par to the others. The peak was most likely with the B-Wing, which was made to replace the Y-Wings. They had incredible firepower and bombing potential, and were fast and highly maneuverable with its spinning cockpit. However, they were hard to control and required multiple people on board if I remember correctly. Not to mention they were fairly rare because Admiral Ackbar had designed them himself and they were only available towards the end of the Galactic Civil War.
