Why should future ongoing development costs of any item be included in the original price?
When they come intermixed with technical deficiencies, e.g., promised capabilities costs paid for in existing aircraft but not delivered by the supplier of the product. There is lots of creative accounting techniques to mask past shortcomings in hopes nobody notices.
