Which completely ignores the fact the that the F-35 won't always have to operate in 'stealthy bomber' mode, and that the gun could also be considered a cheaper option than a multi thousand $/£/¥/€ missile/PGM for soft target plinking, not to mention it being a weapon of last resort when you're all out of the previously mentioned exploding luxuries...
