As above

Each component is tuned for their purpose.
A fuel pump is not a fuel injector. A fuel hose into a fuel tank is not the same either. Different rates. Different diameters. Different forces.
Electromagnetic waves have very very different frequencies and powers and those interact differently with the sensor materials we make.
Even simple ones like LED/Solarpanels (which are the same mechanism with different tunings) will only weakly work in reverse if at all. And those are in the same frequency.
Trying to get a radio antenna to shoot out X-rays is near impossible.
Plus a device to send receive a stream through the air is entirely different than an array made to capture spatially coordinated waves from a particular direction.
