It was key to the operation that Pakistani involvement be plausibly denied, Indeed such an admission could be seen to jeopardize other area ops.Any cooperation would have to have been covert for pretty obvious reasons..
The USA has thrown helicopters away deliberately in the past on sensitive ops (admittedly for different reasons) . so that might have spurred the germ of the idea-even dumping a discontinued prototype .
Following years of silence Imran Kahn has now recently guardedly stated that there was Pakistani intelligence involvement in the operation, contrary to initial statements at the time of the op from the USA. .
There are no known operational stealth american helicopters to this day, neither do they seem to be in the offing in the near future. .
So let' s now get back to the B-21 shall we? (and apologies for the diversion)
Your conspiracy theory fails Occams Razor test.

You simply aren't able to view the information required to make any kind of authoritative statement one way or another.

You don't know what you don't know.
