9X has always had a LOAL capability. The USAF has elected not to use the missile in this way. Too dangerous for wingmen et al. It could easily be cued by the F-35`s sensor suite or radar.
Additionally, on the F-22 front, 9x is not an urgent requirement right now. Other needed systems have priority.
