UAV are the future. The F-22 is likely to be the last manned fighter, but not guaranteed.

No matter how high resolution the displays, there is something to having a pair of Mark 1 Mod 1 eyeballs and a human brain on the scene.

The other thing datalinks can be disrupted. While it’s much harder to disrupted a self contained hardened vehicle like a manned aircraft.

UAVs will become more and more common. It will be a while before you can take the person out of the loop on the scene.

Any chance it might just be our on board computer against the enemy pilot with just a human override ? If missile can find and kill on there own just using sensors, maybe eyeballs will be old school ?
