The objectives probably changed well into development, so it was a choice to either continue and turn out a working product or start over. They should have finished development of a prototype and then continued to adapt the technology for a more anti-ground role, I'm sure they wouldn't have their funding cut for that. Wouldn't take that long to twist it to carry more long range missiles so they'd be selling product anyway. Just stupid to put that many into active service.
