A MOP is designed to penetrate, deeply, then explode. It is designed for a point target, such as an
underground nuclear weapons production facility. The MOAB is an area weapon with tremendous
overblast designed to crush whatever's below it.

Besides, the MOAB is cheap. The MOPs run about $16 million each.

Germany had a giant MOP sorta thing that were dropped over London in hopes of paralyzing the tube system the idea was to not explode on impact but to bury deep then the timer might ignite even days later destroying trains, tracks, people...

In the 60s they actually found some un exploded ordnance in the subway systems there. Maybe into the 70s.
