Reading some of the articles on this new proposal and you find that it probably is intended for its stated market, international buyers, vice the domestic market. The 'stealthy' features of the aircraft are geared for air-to-air radars and not for ground based ones, and would thus 'compete' with the F-22 instead of the F-35 for the US market.
It it not even that drastic a change in design, apparently current aircraft can be modified with the features. So a Super Hornet it is not, and neither is it much of a threat to the F-35 or F-22.
