Cheap doesn’t ring a bell when talking about the F-35.

Much less expensive and drone driven rather than manned. Makes sense to me. No man could withstand the G forces capable of being generated by an unmanned aircraft with even greater capabilities than the F-35. Who needs stealth when you can “swarm” and kill. We already have the tactics and the pilots we just need the numbers.

Full-scope situational awareness and real-time responsive remote control is just as good as a pilot in the seat IMO.

One thing about manned planes: control of the plane cannot be jammed, and cannot be hacked, unlike UAVs.
