1. It costs almost three times a much as the bog standard TIE.
2. The importance of shields on fighter sized craft is over emphasized as you still eat shit 9/10 times anyway. Shields don't save you, getting your wingman to get the other guy off your tail and for the price of 1 A-Wing you get almost two wingmen in TIEs.
3. X-Wing survivability seems to be largely thanks to engine redundancy, as much as if not more so than shields.
4. The Empire has 25k star destroyers, there are 72 TIEs on an ISD, that's over 1.8 million TIEs on star destroyers alone before factoring in every ground facility, space station and every other ship both smaller and larger than star destroyers.
5. You're right, the empire doesn't give a shit about people.
