> If you can accurately strobe it with a laser, why not use the same targeting system to shoot it down?

There will always be a chance that the targeting system misses so strobbing a laser (or bidirectional jamming) will minimize the risk of damaging the surrounding area (people, animals, etc.) vs shooting it down with bullets/nets.

Also a laser that emits enough light to blind a sensor may not be classified as a munition, whereas something that emits projectiles is almost always classified as a munition.
