I don't understand what you see as "sad". Do you consider it likewise
sad that in some respects the F-22 Raptor outperforms the Ford Model T?
(Well, not TCO, but for the F-22 TCO is not the primary objective.)

I submit that many of those TCO studies don't include the cost of
personel and the resources required to support that inflated staff.
