Modern day propeller fighter - hypothetical

Some of the latest developments in propeller aircraft has fascinated
me. It also brought up an interesting hypothetical question; mostly
when reading about modern day warbird replicas.


Why is being prop-driven a requirement, afraid the people on the ground
will fall asleep during aircraft operations? Using a prop limits the
aircraft to much lower airspeeds than current fighters. I think there's
been one or two exotic birds that have operated about Mach 1

Why not build an air-superiority fighter with an open cockpit?
