1 Given time mechs and exoskeletons could reach the point where they provide enough of an edge that it justifies the cost beyond a few test units limited to use for developing the technology.

2 I agree that mechs would have limited speed. For now wheels are the fastest, with treads also displaying greater top speed in the field than quadropedal robots in the lab. Armor and counter armor tatics, strategy, and equipment are in a constant dance, with the balance always near a shift. Weapons and tactics for taking out mechs would spread, forcing mech designers to adapt. This happens with all forms of warfare.
