Why only 7G ?

As far as I am aware (which isn't far) the JSF is designed to tolerate 7G.

Why only 7G in a jet fighter when the pilot can for short periods endure 9G ? Is manoeuvring left to the onboard UAV's (Aim9X, Amrams) ? If so why not design to 5G or Airliner 2-3G ?

Any info gratefully received...TIM
