They are. EW and IR C-UAS has been productionized over the past decade in most countries, but there are still supply chain and cost blockers around power electronics and they tend to be treated as a last resort because of their indiscriminate nature.

A magnet, a conventional explosive, and a coil on a flexible cylinder of polymer film; are power electronics truly necessary for a localized EMP?

Yes. Range, accuracy, targeting, and reducing blast radius matter.

Not sure what else I can say so I'll leave it at that, and will not engage with further comments.
