Can someone please explain to me why, in a world where the wheel has been almost completely replaced with reliable hover technology, someone would design an enormous tank that can be rendered completely ineffective by tripping over its own big stupid legs?

it looks cool. That's the only reason. It makes no sense at all

It's all terrain.
I find it more suspect that the planes fighting them just all happen to have harpoons with ropes attached to them
Still, good scene, would 5years old in the cinema in 1980 again

To sell toys.
Because it looks imposing. You think you can rule over a galactic empire with force alone? You need fear to subjugate trillions and fear was the empires main weapon. Why do you think the krauts stuck sirens on the stuka? Because its scary as fuck.

reliability and power usage.
A hovercraft would need to be much closer to the ground, and expose itself to IEDs or mines. This big thing has extremely thick armored feet.
The height allows it much greater range as well.
There's also the intimidation factor.
The 4 feet also allows for much greater control of recoil and absorbing enemy fire.
Because they look badass. I got my first boner watching those things charge the rebels down
