Considering the Clear advantage in quality in the Luftwaffe's aircraft;
Why stick with the home grown production? Why not licence build Fw-190's
& Me 109's instead of Fiat's And Macchi's.

Because installing a whole new production facility is a lengthy affair.
Its not just the airframe you have to make but the powertrain.
Italy simply didnt have suitable engines until the license built
DB-601/5's were ready. When fitted with those engines Italian
built fighters were rather capable aircraft
