An armchair general viewpoint, but the relatively short range of modern fighters makes them of limited use beyond traditional dogfight. And it needs a LOT of support that is relatively cheap to compromise outside of your home fortress (and maybe even within it). The main role it can play is flying from a nearby base to suppress air force of a low capability adversary, but 1.5T is a steep tag for this. We should limit our losses.
