They're considerably easier and cheaper to destroy, too. JDAMs have hit targets from further than 30km. And that's just a guided bomb, not even powered. Any proper defense will have different layers, not just a lot of any one thing. What happens when the enemy figures out what frequency to jam? Now your entire air defense system is useless.

Fire-and-forget is not at all immune to electronic attack, you just have to jam it before it launches. Or jam the seeker. More difficult, but not at all impossible.
