They made the mistake once before of NOT just assembling F-16s. Why not just buy F-35+ meteor and call it a day?

For example, even "failed" F-2 program achieved the following:
First AESA radar in service.
First fighter in service made with single piece wing/upper fuselage.
Integration with domestic weapons system such as AAM-3/4/5 and ASM-2/3.
