For the same reason that USAF did not choose YF23.

USAF 6th gen might be based on YF23. US has a history of going back and picking the loser from an old contest to be the next fighter. See YF-17 losing out to YF-16 (F-16) but the YF-17 became the F/A-18 later.
If it was Russia that was in US position, it would have picked both F-22 and F-23. But I'm getting off-topic with this.
That's a plain stupid argument, and the US never had "a history of going back and picking the loser from an old contest to be the next fighter". The YF-17 was chosen by the USN for the next carrier-borne fighter since its evolved F/A-18 was better suited for carrier ops than a navalised F-16.
And now back to the topic.
Just want to share a CG I made, it's my first post, hopefully it's the right way to post images. Sorry about the weird watermark, I posted it first to steam...
A few more, but I guess I should probably stop here since after all these are only artworks.
Very impressive, Could you do one with J20 having F22 like square nozzles, Always wondered how it would look like
Thanks. I think someone from Weibo has done that before, but I'll try to model that, should be interesting.
Beautiful

I like it. However, there is a thread for PS artwork in the members club room thread. Probably better to post there
