the F-22's E/A suite can't be activated in peace time, not without doing serious disruptions to allied nations military and civilian lives. Blinding allied pilots playing OPFOR, and also potentially disrupting critical air-traffic control systems and ground systems would be a bad thing.
I had a former Navy instructor who spent years on the E/A-6B as a Bombardier/Navigator, who said that the EA-6 in casual flight would sometimes flag civilian radio centers and TV stations as possible hostiles. Such a thing by an F-22 near a civilian center could create massive public outcry against exercises
this this is something the USAF doesn't like to talk about, and most people don't get, the F-22 can bring down aircraft without using its missiles, its able to literally fry out the fly-by-wire systems that power aircraft. With enough time and software it will be able to target individually systems connected to the OPFOR sensor suite, burning out the radar or flight computers that keep highly agile unstable fighters from crashing.
