I think it's a matter of actually needing those vehicles, remember Russia moved entire factories away from the front during WW2...
The US has a different mission. Even the 5-ton trucks are air droppable.
Size is one thing, I'm more interested in the details (see previous posts) and the dual engine setup is worth checking out, the Swedish SEP, by Hagglunds has a dual diesel setup too...
Weight to horsepower ratio ain't that great for the Tatra, IMHO.
Tatra: 124 lb/hp
M35 deuce: 86
M813 5-ton: 84
m656/xm757 8x8: 78
That makes the light weight xm757 a "sports" vintage MV, in comparison.
