To be fair, you can't use flares indoors either.

IDK though, I've seen at least a scythe in a biolab before. That counts right?

Difference being there are other AA options available for free. Not to mention the regular rocket launcher is perfectly capable of punishing somebody trying to hover spam. As more and more people get the lock on rockets, flares become increasingly necessary just to be in the sky even if you are not a ground attack aircraft.

In addition to that, to be the kind of threat to ground targets that the lock-on launcher is a response to, you already have to spend 1000 certs.
