Back in the old EU, there was also a doctrine-based explanation for it, that the Empire *had* better designs - the TIE-Advanced and the TIE-Defender, but chose to mass produce cheaper, expendable designs (Fighter/Interceptor) instead.

Interesting question. We see 7 TIEs at Yavin destroyed, but rebel fighter losses are way heavier (until you count the thousands of TIEs blown up in their hangers because Tarkin is a doofus) Endor seems to favor the rebels more in the casualty ratio.
Probably was a bad plan for the Empire to hold back their entire capital strike force while exposing their fighters - which in doctrine, act as a vital shielding force for the capitals which have less point-defense - to heavier rebel point-defense.

Yavin is exceptional.
