I agree that, in the general sense, the eagles would and should not come to a battle simply because it is fought. However, I believe that the importance of the city of Minas Tirith, as the foremost bastion of resistance, and its battle, is far higher than any other, at that time. Even if the hobbits prevailed, the forces of the West would have an incredible challenge ahead of them if the armies of Mordor already commanded Minas Tirith.
