Fair point, but doesn't that increase the sensor costs? You have to target the missile somehow.
You can direct it with a drone, obviously, since the missile itself has a semi active laser. I don't think Mete costs as much as everyone seem to think it might. You can buy a hobby rocket that can fly more than 1 km vertically for less than 100 dollars. Most expensive thing inside it would be the laser finder.

Also, for me, this is about keeping the soldiers that are using them safe. They can sit in a safe spot, scout with a drone and attack from kms away. And let's not forget, training soldiers, by which I mean professional soldiers and special forces that actually go out and risk their lives nowadays, cost time, money and resources as well.
