Feeding more air to power generation and less to thrust is an option they’d just rather pay the price in dollars than in a performance hit. JSF was a 1990s competition that picked a winner in ‘01, with the F-35 first flying late in ‘06. The GE/RR alternate engine got canned in the twenty teens, while AETP was cancelled within the last couple years. So thankfully there’s about two decades of new tech they can shove in to not take that performance hit, and probably even improve it instead. However if that wasn’t the case downrating engine thrust to meet power demand would be an option if they felt the capability justified it
