You mean like Kamikazes? Yeah, that didn't happen in real life.
If it's an option in war, it's going to be used. The question is why it hasn't been used until now, after the perimeters of this universes logic have already been set.
I tend to agree that the reason is that someone thought that it would look cool on screen.
An earlier movie, the 'ain't like dustin' crops, boy' scene, basically set out that if you tried what happened here, you would essentially embed yourself inside of the other craft. And that's only if you got the math perfectly, which may be difficult if both objects are in motion. Thus, why it never happened before.
They did the same thing in Rick and Morty season 4, using the rules laid out by the Star Wars universe.
