I makes perfect sense if you think about it.

WH40k is, by design, so far on the "grim and depressing" scale that it is no longer possible to take it seriously and it becomes a farce instead. (Warriors who put enemies' skulls on spikes? Grim. Warriors who put enemies' skulls on spikes on their armor? Kinda out there. Warriors whose armor is completely *covered* with spikes and skulls and skulls on spikes? ...come *on*.)

Evangelion is, by design, carefully balanced on the edge of "grim and depressing" where it *almost* seems like it might be possible to find a bit of happiness or achieve some small victory, but if you try it'll just be taken away from you.
