It's not even that. They're saying "We're Lockheed, we have the Skunk Works, look how innovative we are" in order to make the stock market go "ooh, Lockheed is doing something cool." Nobody has bought this plane. Nobody has commissioned this plane. Nobody has even asked for this plane. This is Lockheed going "if somebody wanted, we could build this plane" in order to make everybody think Lockheed is dope. And, when they have to be, they are. But right now, "Lockheed" is "the pigfuck called Lightning II."
