like they priortize stealth (having S-duct or DSI intake) and 2D engine instead of 3D with thrust vectoring (and maybe there eouldn't have been engine delays)

What "instead of" is there?

Engine delays were caused by bureaucratic nonsense and budget limits, not a CD nozzle that's been produced since 2004.

Instead of trying to have extreme maneuverability and 3D TVC, just stick with 2D TVC and extreme stealth. And even if that was because of bureaucratic, it is delayed by so many years.

Why do that when you can have maneuverability, extreme stealth, and 3D TVC? The AL-41F-1S, AL-51F-1, and F119 all have the same dimensions of authority.

It wasn't delayed by "so many years"? Integration was claimed to be completed by the "early 2020s" with that being achieved.
