There were plenty of options but the MOD just decided to take the worst one The best option was the US made LRASM. The LRASM can be used by F-35s and P-8s, additionally there is VLS capability as well top side container launcher models Adding it to the Typhoon wouldnt an issue as the LRASM actually weighs less than the Storm Shadow The LRASM would have given the UK a very capable weapon against all ship types but usable by both the RN and RAF FYI, Lockheed is testing it from HIMARS and if that is success, the trifecta for the UK The NSM is great light weapon for coastal defense but for deep water combat, its useless

@lukeallison3713 Expensive is relative if they were only buying for the RN, then yes but a buy for RN, RAF and possibly the British Army would drive cost down quite a bit
