The general trend is turning more towards speed and mobility instead of heavy armor and protection like it was in the past.4x4 fits that role perfectly.Keeping distance and shoot and scoot tactics seem like much better protection,considering weapons used on modern battlefields.The fact that similar approaches(30x103) are gaining weight in different countries shows that the importance of 4x4 tactical wheeled vehicles as armed combat vehicles will increase in the coming years.
I think that is why we are seeing more and more light vehicles armed with 20/25/30 mm weapon stations as well as atgm's(weapons that were reserved only for heavy IFV's in the past) giving them enough firepower to take out any IFV or tank(atgm armed versions),while just 10-15 years ago these vehicles mostly had either 7.62mm or 12.7 mm machine guns.
This will probably continue so we are about to more of it all around the world
