It's not. But a JSF has only so many missiles, and target discrimination can be difficult if the ground forces are closely engaged or the terrain is rugged.
The A-10 carries a buttload of ordnance, can loiter on the battlefield for a very long time, and it's nose gun allows it to hit targets that are very close to friendlies.
