There are multiple hives all over Earth. However, there is only one Superior for the whole planet, what with BETA esp controls. Also, what I wrote on the YF-23:

That also doesn't account for the fact that the YF-23's design has been static since 1991, while the Raptor EMD and production models feature numerous improvements to performance and specs over the YF-22. If the YF-23 were to be reintroduced by the USSF, it would require a significant development period, one that would be exceedingly costly, and hardly practical for a single service, particularly when the Space Force needs new hardware now, not ten years down the road.
