There's also the whole doctrine thing. The Cold War called for heavier units able to stand up to the punishment a Pact offensive could deal out, while the Stryker concept was born from the cake walk of the two Iraq invasions and other post cold war events.

The Stryker was also delayed years by wrangling and arguing in Congress, the Senate, and the Pentagon, and the design of the Stryker changed several times during its development and the time allowed by that wrangling, some for the better, some for the worse. The Stryker that appeared (probably in small numbers, if any) for the Twilight War would not be the same Stryker we use today.
