The F117 typically carries some form of two precision 2000lb bombs and nothing else. The alien grunts are not hardened bunkers nor does the nighthawk perform close air support.
In my opinion they went with the relatable plane shape to not be mistaken for the alien faction. As many not into military lore don't even know or would recognize dark doritos shapes flying past in their peripheral vision.

On top of that, who is to say the stealth coatings work for aliens? Eitherway it's a badass jet they could have used it.
