There was only so much armor could do against overwhelming firepower so they decided that smaller & faster is better, true. The push towards lower-weight / higher speed started in WW2 when they started work on high muzzle velocity large caliber guns. Sure, they have firepower and armor, but they tend to have very low speed and maneuverability, which just makes them prime targets for air power and artillery. But, have you also noticed that even though we had larger tanks in WW2, most modern tanks top off in the 60-70 ton range? Super-large vehicles are nothing but targets.
