These sound like plausible reasons -
“Flying the 5th-generation F-22 Raptor is too easy ...
F-22 pilots aren’t getting enough flight time in the aircraft.”
I wonder if anyone has bothered to ask the pilots. If the few fighter pilots I’ve known are typical, they don’t take well to boredom and they love to fly.

Glad I got to see an F-22 close up at an airshow last summer.

Dont ask, dont tell? I dont buy that “too easy to fly” nonsense. If my life is on the line flying a $36 million plane, I would prefer that the jet be easy to pilot.At $36 M, I'll buy'em all as today's price is $143 M.

Thanks. I was just curious if it was C-in-C related or not. It is not. Thanks for answering.
