Granted the AI will need to spend the points elsewhere, more infantry, armor, or (god forbid) artillery.

Don't you mean possible?
As is, AI air defense makes aircraft/helos pretty much a total waste of points.
On average as the US player you're given the option to purchase 2 to 4 airstrikes per battle (US aircraft cost about the same as an artillery battery ... which can't get shot down, is more accurate, and has more ammo).
Given this level of air defense none ... NONE ... of those 4 to 8 aircraft survive long enough to make a single airstrike.
Since apparently I'm the only person that thinks aircraft should be viable vs the AI (not just players that forget to buy AD) I'll quit beating this dead horse.
