Wings like the X32 have low drag at high speed, and relatively high drag at low speed due to the angle of attack needed. I imagine that wing design was chosen for super cruise reasons.

X32 is British VTOL technology which can't go supersonic
X35 is Russian VTOL technology which can go supersonic
Neither should have been made the "template" for two other versions which don't have to be VTOL

X-32 was at its core a Harrier bodykit with conventional variants. The X-35 was a conventional aircraft with a STOVL variant. For all the problems with the F-35 program, the aircraft itself was excellent for what it was designed for, while the X-32/F-32 would have struggled to meet even original requirements, let alone what the JSF program ended up expanding into.

All the more hilarious that F-35 can't supercruise.
