It’s a lot harder to jam (multiple) radio frequencies than it is to cut off (even physically) a smaller number of internet uplinks. And if transmissions start hopping around to different frequencies, then you have to keep actively jamming them. Cutting off internet access is (largely) a one-time only situation.

Electronic warfare isn't unbeatable - good operating practice, flexibility, and persistence can still allow communications to get through in a contested spectrum.
