Titanium:
TVC is one of the capabilities.. having it is an advantage (not having it is an disadvantage viz-a-viz craft of other similar capabilities)..
Stealth Technology is in itself a very big capability and advantage (for eg B2's were subsonic and yet were never shot down in a battle and has an excellent objective completion efficiency, then why aren;t they used as fighters?)
Further, if F22 and F35 were to compete than F22 with come out triumphant in air-air combat but if both were to compete on being a better strike fighter f35 would come out triumphant.. now is it solely because F22's TVC engine? Not really but it plays a synergistic role...
(another analogy would be some sports car rely on higher BHP some on torque some on reducing weight some on having an excellent dyno graph. etc but ultimately all try to leverage their different advanatages to come out on tops but some cars have a combination of all and some have an outright advantage in one deptt. eg Ariel Atom is a subton car with world's fastest accln amongst all, Bugatti Veyron has a howler of an engine etc.)
