I don't get it. Why not just keep a smaller part of the fleet with radar absorbent skin in top notch condition (and barely use it outside mission, thus keeping it in a good condition) and keep the other part of the fleet entirely without this feature, for usage in scenarios where it's not needed?

The F-22s are already a small part of the U.S. air force fleet, which need to be saved for scenarios that require their unique capabilities. There are 187 F-22s, while the air force has e.g. 473 F-15s and 1,245 F-16s.
