>> when you're surrounded by advanced radar capabilities Like maybe when you are defending a border against waves of incoming fighters? >> cheaper jets like the F-16/18 respond to every ping with an anti radiation missile.

SEAD with non-stealthy aircraft is a much more complex mission than simply throwing harms at pings.
