I don't really know how to structure this question, but yeah, why is always Naval and never Aviation?

That's always been my take. The Navy has the experience with big-ship operations, and operating smaller craft from those large ships, and it's supply and logistics would likely evolve from ocean to space faring ships.
The Marines are historically an amphibious force, an extension of the Navy, specialized in ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore operations; ship-to-surface would be the evolution of that.
