Lockheed Martin's F-22 team was worth billions, and nobody wanted that plane. But yes, war profiteering aside, your point stands.

People wanted the original idea for that plane.

The really sad part is that the F-35 is such a problem, they might restart production on the F-22 to supplement the fleet of uprated older planes to make up for the F-35.
