The larger cannon, as in BMP-3, are heavy ordinance and put a lot pressure on suspension.
The only reason I brought it up was just because it was one of the few with bigger than a 25 or 30mm gun. There is weird stuff like the 105mm equipped Stryker... The only reason I gave any examples of that was just because there are some IFVs running around with big guns and some are running around with wheels.
the vehicle I'm running could easily steamroll several BMP-3 as it has a rapid fire 30mm cannon that can easily penetrate that armor. The point in rapid fire guns is that if can penetrate armor it does it with a blaze, it it's infantry you can cut down them in hordes and if there is no penetration you can still cause enough shake to disorient the enemy and with luck damage their gun and with a good shot even bust out their targeting systems.
I assumed you were American just for no reason and that it would have been a Bradley... but they don't have 30mm's so... Now I will have to guess something like Warrior.
Perhaps MAKO was just produced alongside Normandy itself and meant for low importance recon but used by Shepard for combat. The MAKO's combat prowess would just come out of the "just a game" aspect.
Yeah I don't know how much of it was designed to be cool. Sort of like the exhaust pipes...
Back to the gun, all I can imagine was that they thought it needed some punch against armor or rather kinetic barriers that a smaller one wouldn't provide, and they probably don't use anything like a TOW which gets bolted onto everything smaller than a tank it seems.
