Well i am sure you can find some daredevil who can do such a landing under the right conditions.
But the military requirements are such, that good conditions are not the norm.
There are missions in harsh weather (and weather at sea is a completely different animal compared to weather on land or in the air at a few kilometers height).
Up in the sky the conditions are stable and picking up a parachute with an aircraft is something you can easily retry a few times when you fail.
Missing the landing on a submarine results in a sunken aircraft (and possibly pilot).
Pilots have varying skill levels and are expensive to train just look at training requirements for the people landing on aircraft carriers.
If you look at loss rates of military aircraft in any period you will find, that a astonishing portion of the losses are due to accidents.
Landing a hard to control VTOL on a small spot on a submarine (which itself is somewhat small and thus unstable) will cause a tremendous amount of attrition among the aircraft and pilots.
It is just far more efficient to shot a cruise missile at a target, than going through the hassle of having aircraft drop a bomb and then return with a low chance of survival.
