Their alt modes are just sexy in a way the Generations cars aren't and it probably comes down to being licensed.

Worse we will probably never see a licensed Generations figure. Grrr.
I found it especially pleasing with regard to the amount of aircraft Transformers that were either directly licensed or near approximations

F-22 Raptor (Starscream and other seeker repaints)
F-35 Lightning II-ish (Breakaway, Thrust)
Harrier-ish (Dirge, Jetblade)
Mig 29 (Dreadwind, Overcast, Fearswoop)
V-22 Osprey (Incinerator)
CH-53 Stallion (Blackout, Grindor, Evac)
Su-47 Berkut-ish (Terradive, Space Case)
Eurofighter Typhoon-ish (Hatchet)
A-10 Warthog (Powerglide)
Albatros D.III (Ransack, ROTF Divebomb)
SR-71 Blackbird (Jetfire)
Boeing E-767 (Air Raid)
Su-37 Terminator-ish (TF07 Divebomb - a repaint of a Cybertron figure to be fair)

Then there were a few figures that looked realistic but were entirely fictional (as opposed to near approximations) - the helicopter Tomahawk transforms into, the jet that Nitro Zeus transforms into, and the cargo plane that Stratosphere turns into.

Basically, the aviation nerd in me was very happy... but also bitter at the same time that we never got a toy from the F-18 Hornet based generic seeker character in the ROTF video game.
