It won't be when fighters are moving under AWACS cover and heavy ES from own assets.
That is only one scenario. Now imagine a CAP tasked with ID'ing an unknown aircraft. You need to get close to escort any unwanted crafts out of your skies. What if you get engaged at WVR range in this scenario? What if yout BVRs do miss and the enemy closes in on you? Let's consider all of MastanKhan's sore points. You don't need Mach 2 speed, so you won't be able to run away. You don't need T/W and agility, so you won't be able to fight. You don't need cannons so you can't even fire. You are a sitting duck.
