It’s elementary:
Politicians don’t get big contributions and kickbacks for sticking with weapons systems already designed and built.
They do get big contributions and kickbacks for handing out new multi-million dollar contracts for R & D and multi-billion dollar contracts to build new systems.

Well both of the weapons systems in this discussion are long ago "designed and built". In both cases, the tooling is even retired.
The kickback stories were used for these systems and every new system I can remember since the 1970's.
