Because you're trying to shoot something flying at 500 miles an hour, piloted by a tiny lunatic who actually thought this sort of thing was a good career move and is probably on military-issued meth, with a projectile the size of your thumb, while also being the exact same sort of lunatic? :-D

Iirc comparing modafinil and meth is like comparing budweiser and everclear.
TLDR: Because SAMs have gotten so good at their jobs, air forces don't even bother.
It says nothing about surface-to-air missiles.
