Maybe why is simple to answer given the current situation.Deterrent.
The question I would be asking is the manner in which they obtained them.
Note, that Obama let drone technology fall into Iranian hands. The Chinese have penetrated US-technical development. Although, it would not surprise me if what is being leaked, is only a part. (compare F22 with their J6 5th generation airframe). Then there is the 85 billion dollar equipment handover after the Afghanstan debacle.
Then there is of course Cfius. Not to mention some deliberate leaking against a handover of a nice sum +10% for the big guy.
