Further, jack of all trades, master of none.
This is why you have fighters and bombers; bombers engage in explosive landscaping, and they do it very well.
Fighters engage in explosive flyswatting, and they do that very well.
AWACS aircraft engage in directing both, and they do THAT quite well.

Now try to mix them up into one plane, and you've basically overloaded the aircraft and crew functionally at the least. They won't be able to do anything well. It's like wanting to have a truck that's also a formula 1.
