Possibly because the P-47 could be multi role - air to air when that was needed, air to ground when that was needed. One type in the development pipeline, the production pipeline and the training pipeline could adapt to whatever the needs were long after the development/production/training began.

Perhaps the Typhoon and Spitfire had the same advantage over the Vengeance.
