If the public cannot stomach allied casualties, losing too many pilots might end a war even if the material cost of the planes was low. Quantity may have a quality of it's own, but maintaining public morale seems just as important.

Oddly, at the moment there are people on American streets demanding casualties in order to get the malls open again.

(Coronavirus death toll now larger than Vietnam)

That is a reason why you move so that when the time come (which is not chosen you we are not talking about us invaded china here but china just blockage of Taiwan say), you have option. If Taiwan has a strategic assets at least you do not risk a war ...

Guess that is why Taiwan also would not want the asset out.

There have to be a political deal. If USA and Taiwan is competent.
