Because it's the only mass-produced (and thus relatively cheap) 5th Gen fighter that gives you a lot of advantages over 4th Gen and it will likely take at least a decade before mass-produced EUropean alternatives are available.

Poland was already pissed off with US arm industry under Biden with slow deliveries of US weapons and started to order more and more from South Korea. I guess it will only accelerate.
