If you only build 183 of something, the costs will be exorbitant.

It’s supposed to cost about a billion dollars to design and produce a new car from the ground up. If a car maker only sold 183 of the car, each unit would have to cost more than $5 million to cover the development costs, even if the car was supposed to sell for $25k.

We should have built a lot more F-22s and allowed some close allies to purchase them.

I do agree that the ban of exports of the plane were "short sighted". The Japanese were interested in purchasing the plane. However, a sale would need approval from the Pentagon, State Department and Congress. They were offered the F-35 instead.
