A lot of Kaiju wouldn’t actually be effective for similar reasons. As the size increases, so too should the legs. Huge monsters should start looking like milipedes.

There’s a reason bipedal war machines have never been a thing: the legs are an attack surface and a half. Shoot the knee out, or just trip one over, and whatever’s inside is essentially canned meat.

The legs are super sturdy. The main issue was being top-heavy. But if they were made out of Earth’s minerals, yeah, the legs wouldn’t last long and it’d be easy pickings for AA guns. Also ballistics and not blasters makes for a hot and heavy cabin.
