It's cool that we are getting heavy things to have feet but why?
A hummer weighs 2000lbs less and can go well over 80mph, what benefit does this concept have over armored cars?

Because my inner child wants to pilot a giant robot, and that's that.
Add one more "tech level" to it and you can have a 1-on-1 mapping of the user's input and this allows you to have tanks that require almost no training to use allowing you to have your infantry be... well, big robots. The only advantage of that is if you can produce them faster than training would take.
In real life, right now, they simply looks cool.
Can go where no hummer has gone before ?
