The Marine Corps tried to use the A10, but it does not have a rigid airframe, so they cannot use it. A plane needs to have a rigid air frame to be able to takeoff and land from an aircraft carrier.
The Corps spent a lot of time and money trying to modify the A10 to be carrier capable, but it was a bridge too far.

The Army needs to get the CAS mission and take over the A-10s.

Giving the A-10 to the Marines or the Army would make too much sense, but from what I understand, the Army did not want them.

Actually that was proposed in the early 90’s, but the af then decided it wanted to keep the A 10 program for it’s self, saying it was their domain to deal with & will not relinquish that part of their mission.

How are they going to waste taxpayer money doing that?
Retired generals like to take jobs at defense contractors.
