Aircraft manufacturers do not want to bother with low-budget military airplanes because there are few opportunities for mark-up and even less potential for profit.The challenge is designing an airframe that looks stealthy and has internal weapons bays that can carry a variety of latest generation ordinance ... BUT ... expensive accessories and avionics are only sold to wealthier nations that can afford them.The fanciest ordinance and avionics are demonstrated by the few examples flown by the manufacturers' home air force, but are rarely sold to smaller air forces. They only have to create the illusion of flying the latest and greatest, but leave neighboring air forces guessing about how capable/advanced you really are.
