Absolutely, because the US Govt (and other governments) have the companies in question consult in helping to shape the requirements of this type of service. Simply: Lockheed define narrow criteria that only Lockheed can win and then lobby enough to ensure those criteria are applied.

You sure it's not because of the fact that it's a joint strike fighter and LM has to create one aircraft that is able to accommodate the requirements of each branch of the military?

Having worked at Lockheed I can say: this is 100% true.
