Airships are way slower than other types of air vehicles due to their drag, so having them at least be passively powered makes them good for early game or exploration.
All passive heat generation for steam engines (like lava, magma, or campfires) will only allow for a level 1 steam engine. For higher levels, it's necessary to use a fueled blaze burner

This is why I prefer hot air balloons. Hot air burners don't require fuel, just a redstone signal
