This isn’t really true, the military aircraft fly faster and at those speeds pointy noses help. Passenger airliners travel at slower speeds for which more round noses are actually better (eg to prevent flow detachment). In fact, iirc I read somewhere that Airbus’s more blunt noses are the result of newer CFD-based design techniques whereas Boeing reuses their pointy nose from previous designs.
