I would rather say it would make economical sense. Potential for an additional >100 aircraft sales. Which is a lot for a Gen5+ Aircraft. Probably an 30+% increase in production numbers. And program partners typically pay more for their aircraft than 'pure buyers'. Allowing for either cheaper sales prices or adding more tech.
