You're entitled to your view, of course. I view it as pretentious snobbery, especially the casual dismissal of a genre. At least I dislike most fantasy for a reason - as overly focused on the Hero's Journey.

Starship Troopers is, as far as I am concerned, a work which will in a few hundred years be studied in schools, after the Shakespeare. (Most military services don't...like scifi, institutionally. But, there's a reason Starship Troopers is on military reading lists).

But you dismiss it as an equal to Battlefield Earth.
