I don’t care the SMEs insist that they never used or trained with harms, they were never in a conflict that required them. 

Apart from the fact that weapon systems are a bit more complicated to integrate than bolting the missile to the plane, there's the whole other issue of training and TTP. Successfully performing a SEAD mission is a bit more complicated than pointing a HARM in the right direction and pressing a button. If F-15E crews never trained on the SEAD mission, and the USAF still had operational F-16C squadrons that specialize in that mission, why would they ever bother strapping a HARM to a Strike Eagle? Let the Viper drivers do what they've trained for, while the Strike Eagle pilots focus on the missions they train for. 

The idea that every plane and every pilot must be able to do every mission is very much a DCSism and is not how real life works, except sorta with the Hornet, as it's often the only strike fighter in a carrier group.

That exactly is the difference, the Razbam Devs do care...
