MOAB was only used once, in Afghanistan in 2017, because of concerns about killing civilians. It still killed civilians in that attack. Embarrassing bomb in general. To outright be like "yeah we might drop it on a power plant" is humiliating to begin with. Harm today, enabled by "optionality"

theintercept.com"Mother of All Bombs" Never Used Before Due to Civilian Casualty ConcernsWhen it first introduced the bomb, the Pentagon said it was designed to terrify America’s enemy into submission.
