Yes... I know; it's because it's made completely redundant by the M36.

If you look at that chart, it's pretty clear that except for the M36, USF has nothing with decent pen. Their 2nd best option is the M1, with 150 pen at 60 range (far). 150 pen in CoH2 is basically useless; it'll work against "light" mediums, like a STUG or a stock P4, but that's it. It won't do anything against the pretty standard 230+ armor that axis brings to the table almost every game.

By adding in the M10 as a non-doc unit, suddenly there's a choice. Instead of either rushing straight to an M36, you can instead opt for a cheaper M10, that will likely deal with mediums just as well as the current M36. This is good for USF. It gives build variety, and also means you're not forced to save for the ~140f TD every round.

The point isn't to replace the M36, or to nerf the M36 to be an "expensive M10". BOTH units would be available, but they would be specialized; the M10 for fighting mediums, and the M36 for fighting heavies.
